.TH DEXPIRE 8
.SH NAME
dexpire \- Diablo program to expire article files
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dexpire
[
.B \-r free-space-target
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IR DExpire
does an expire run on the history file, removing expired articles and
updating (but not rewriting) the history file as appropriate. DExpire
current operates in a FIFO manner, removing the oldest spool files first.
It will remove spool files a directory at a time until the free space target
is reached.
.PP
.B \-r free-space-target
.PP
This option tells dexpire to actually remove files and specifies a free-space
target to shoot for in megabytes. For example, 2000 would indicate a free
space target of 2 gigabytes. DExpire will loop until it meets the
free-space target.
.PP
After clearing out sufficient disk space, DExpire will scan the spool
directory and then update the history file in place. This is relatively
self repairing, so you can remove spool files manually without getting things
out of synch.
