	<longdescription lang="en">
		tmpreaper is a program that can be used to clean out temporary-file
		directories. It recursively searches the directory, refusing to chdir()
		across symlinks, and removes files that haven't been accessed in a
		user-specified amount of time. You can specify a set of files to protect
		from deletion with a shell pattern. It will not remove files owned by the
		process EUID that have the `w' bit clear, unless you ask it to, much like
		`rm -f'. `tmpreaper' will not remove symlinks, sockets, fifos, or special
		files unless given a command line option enabling it to.

		WARNING: Please do not run `tmpreaper' on `/'. There are no protections
		against this written into the program, as that would prevent it from
		functioning the way you'd expect it to in a `chroot(8)' environment.

		The daily tmpreaper run can be configured through /etc/tmpreaper.conf .
