💖 NAME

okay so this page is about memoize-clean.pl and memoize-clean.py 🧚 They're both here to remove (stale) memo and extern files for you. bestie, that's literally it 💅

📜 SYNOPSIS

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

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

🎀 DESCRIPTION

okay so memoize-clean is a script that comes with Memoize, a TeX package 🦋 Memoize lets you reuse the results of compilation-intensive code, like TikZ pictures, so your docs don't have to rebuild them every single time. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

by default, this script goes hunting for stale memo and extern files 🔍 A stale one is an extern made during a compilation of an older version of your document that nothing used or produced during the last compile. no cap, stale files usually show up when you change the memoized code (or the stuff around it) 😭

memoize-clean.pl removes every memo and extern file with a prefix listed in your .mmz files, plus any prefixes you pass with --prefix that aren't explicitly mentioned in the .mmz files. main character cleanup energy ✨

⚠️ bestie, the script lists every file it's about to delete and asks you to confirm before it deletes anything. so you get a vibe check first 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS

• -p, --prefix — add a memo/extern prefix to clean up 🍓 you can give this one more than once if you're feeling extra.
• -a, --all — nuke all memos and externs instead of just the stale ones 💀 very dramatic, use with intention.
• -y, --yes — skip the confirmation question and just go for it 🔥
• -q, --quiet — don't narrate what's happening 🙈 silent queen mode.
• -h, --help — show help 💜
• -V, --version — show the Memoize version number and then exit 🌈
