.SH NAME
cruft \- Check the filesystem for cruft (missing and unexplained files)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cruft [ FILE ]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B cruft
is a program that goes over the Debian packaging system's database, and
compares the contents of that with the files actually on your system, and
produces a summary of the differences.
.SH OPTIONS
If a file is provided, cruft\-ng will analyze this single file
and print matching package(s) name(s).
.br
Without any option, cruft\-ng will analyze the whole system.
.SH "FILES"
A user can tune execution by providing extra configuration files:
.TP
.B /etc/cruft/ignore
Do not process paths listed in this file, this can speed-up matching.
Example values: /var/schroot/, /var/www/ ...
This will override the default
.B /usr/share/cruft/ignore
.TP
.B  /etc/cruft/filters/*
Rules (glob-patterns) similar that are similar to those built-in into
.I cruft
package.
The uppercase files are always processed, the lowercase ones are processed
when matching package is installed.
.TP
.B /etc/cruft/explain/*
Shell scripts that will print-out a list of temporary file
belonging to a package.
The uppercase files are always processed, the lowercase ones are processed
when matching package is installed.
