NAME
       memoize-clean.pl, memoize-clean.py - Remove (stale) memo and extern
       files

SYNOPSIS
       memoize-clean.pl [OPTIONS] [document1.mmz ...]

       memoize-clean.py [OPTIONS] [document1.mmz ...]

DESCRIPTION
       memoize-clean is a script accompanying Memoize, a TeX package which
       allows the author to reuse the results of compilation-intensive code
       such as TikZ pictures.

       By default, this script removes stale memo and extern files.  A stale
       memo or extern is an extern produced during a compilation of a previous
       version of the document which was neither used nor produced during the
       last compilation of the document.  Typically, stale files arise when we
       change the memoized code (or its context).

       memoize-clean.pl removes all memo and extern files with prefixes
       mentioned in the listed .mmz files and by options --prefix which are
       not explicitly mentioned in the .mmz files.

       Before deleting anything, memoize-clean.pl lists all the files it would
       delete and asks for confirmation.

OPTIONS
       -p, --prefix
              Add a memo/extern prefix for cleaning.  This option may be given
              multiple times.

       -a, --all
              Remove all memos and externs, rather than only the stale ones.

       -y, --yes
              Do not ask for confirmation.

       -q, --quiet
              Don't describe what's happening.

       -h, --help
              Show help.

       -V, --version
              Show the Memoize version number and exit.
