NAME
       lostfiles - Find orphaned files not owned by any packages.

USAGE
       lostfiles [-s] [-z]

DESCRIPTION
       Lostfiles compares pacman's database of package owned files to the
       contents of actual filesystem and reports files that are not owned by a
       package. Useful for identifying non-native files.

OPTIONS
       -s

         Run in strict mode which aims to be more verbose ignoring less.

       -z

         Print and sort by size of matches.


USER-DEFINED EXCLUDES
       /etc/lostfiles.conf can be customized with a list of paths to include
       and exclude when running in relaxed mode. Each line beginning with a
       plus (+) or minus (-) sign, followed by an absolute path, will
       respectively include or exclude that path from the results. An asterisk
       (*) wildcard can be used as a placeholder matching any string.
       Additionally, more complicated exclusion filters can be expressed by a
       line beginning with a dollar ($) sign, followed by command-line
       arguments to pass to the find utility. Finally, lines beginning with a
       number sign (#) are interpreted as comments.
