 Unix Tip #4309- December 28, 2012
 
CLEANING DIRECTORIES  
  
The creation of many temporary files  
in Unix during compilations, occupies  
a lot of memory space. This can be  
got rid of by using a simple script.  
  
find $1 \( -name a.out -o -name '*.o' -o -name 'core' -o -name '*.ii' -o -name '*.ti' -o -name '*.class' -o -name '*.pur' \) -exec rm {} \;  
  
Save the above line in a file and run  
this file after changing permissions.  
For example, if the file containing  
the above code has the name 'clean',  
then:  
  
example% clean  
  
will remove all the files specified  
in the script in the directory and  
all other subdirectories within it.  
You can add or remove any number of  
files in the script, to suit your  
needs.
