Print help (see a summary with '-h')

Deletes the awww cache directory.

The cache resides at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/awww or $HOME/.cache/awww if $XDG_CACHE_HOME does not exist. In this directory, we create another directory corresponding to awwws current version number. In there, we have files that cache the last displayed image and animation frames for animated wallpapers. There is one file per output.

Note that awww will automatically delete any files and directories in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/awww that do not correspond to the exact current awww version number. This is to ensure we only keep cache files for the latest awww version.
