🧼 DUB-CLEAN(1) — the dub clean girlies' manual page 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for dub-clean from The D Language Foundation, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 1am 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dub-clean — removes intermediate build files and cached build results. literally that's it, it's the cleanup crew 🧹

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dub clean [<package>] OPTIONS...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this command removes any cached build files of the given package(s). that's the whole vibe 💖

but — and this is the important part, don't skip it — the final target file, as well as any copyFiles, are currently not removed. so don't come crying to me when your binary is still sitting there, it's giving "I'm still here" energy 😭

Without arguments, the package in the current working directory will be cleaned. no thoughts, just clean the one you're standing in 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --all-packages — cleans up all known packages (as in, the ones from dub list). go big or go home, queen 👑

💜 COMMON OPTIONS

See dub(1) — the main character of the dub manpages, she has all the shared options iykyk

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

like the vibe check at the end, here's what the exit codes mean:

  • 0 — DUB succeeded. slay, we ate 💅
  • 1 — usage errors, unknown command line flags. you typed something weird bestie 🙈
  • 2 — package not found, package failed to load, miscellaneous error. it's giving chaos 💀

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • dub.sdl
  • dub.json

those are the two files, iconic duo fr fr
