backup-manager-purge - backup-manager's wrapper for outdating files

       Concept and design by Alexis Sukrieh and Jan Metzger.

perl v5.40.1                                       2025-04-11                            BACKUP-MANAGER-PURGE(8)

backup-manager-purge is the only authorized entity that can say if an archive should be purged or not.
       Any tasks used by backup-manager may have to know if an archive is deprecated (eg: the purging phase of
       an upload method). This tool is here to fulfill that need.

       Given a timetolive(TTL) and a list of archives, backup-manager-purge will return another list of
       archives, corresponding to the ones that are outdated by the TTL.

       If  an  error  occurs, it will print the error message on stderr and will exit with an error code greater
       than 0.

       Here are the possible error codes:

       bad command line (wrong arguments) : 10
       internal error (should be reported as a bug) : 20

--files-from=file
           A file containing a list of archives to parse, one archive per line.  If this  option  is  not  used,
           STDIN will be used for catching the files to parse.

--ttl=time-to-live
           Specify  the time to live (in days) for the archives. Any archive that is older than ttl days will be
           outdated.

backup-manager-purge will return the list of outdated files on STDOUT, one file per line.
