💖 delp — the Free Pascal file deletion tool 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because delp is literally about to clean your whole build directory and it's giving main character energy. 🧹✨

✨ NAME ✨

delp — The Free Pascal file deletion tool. that's it, that's the name, no notes. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

delp [options] directory

one directory, some options, and a whole lot of deleted files. iconic. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: delp deletes files in the specified directory that are left over from a Free Pascal compilation process. she knows what files can be produced by the compile steps — like, she's studied — and deletes any such files she finds. 🫶

and at the end? she gives you a summary of the number of files that were deleted, together with the amount of bytes freed by this process. not her flexing, but also kind of her flexing. 😭💖

⭐ USAGE ⭐

delp takes the following options at this time:

• -e — Delete all executable files as well. lowkey important: this option has no effect on Linux. 🙈
• -h — Displays a short help message. bestie behavior honestly. 💜
• -q — Be more quiet. Normally, delp gives a count of the number of files deleted. If this option is given, no messages are displayed. 🤫

🌈 FILE TYPES: 🌈

The following file types are recognized by the program and are deleted:

• *.exe — Executable files under dos and windows. Only deleted if the -e option is given. (yes, you gotta ask nicely first. 💅)
• *.so *.dll — Shared libraries under linux and Windows.
• *.tpu *.tpp *.tpw *.tr — Turbo Pascal compiled units.
• *.log *.bak — Backup files and log files.
• *.ppu *.o *.a *.s — Compiled units, object files, archives and assembler files created by the Free Pascal compiler on Linux or Dos.
• *.ppw *.ow *.aw *.sw — Compiled units, object files, archives and assembler files created by the Free Pascal compiler on Windows.
• *.pp1 *.o1 *.a1 *.s1 — Compiled units, object files, archives and assembler files created by the Free Pascal compiler on the go321v1 platform.
• *.ppo *.oo *.ao *.so — Compiled units, object files, archives and assembler files created by the Free Pascal compiler on the OS/2 platform.
• ppas.bat ppas.sh link.res fpcmaked — Batch files, link script and makefile utility files.

not me listing every single one of these like a girlboss. no skips, no cuts, we keep ALL the file types. periodt. 👑
