X Version 11                                      imake 1.0.10                                     cleanlinks(1)

       The  cleanlinks  program  searches  the  directory tree descended from the current directory for symbolic
       links whose targets do not exist, and removes them.  It  then  removes  all  empty  directories  in  that
       directory tree.

       cleanlinks  is  useful  for  cleaning  up  a shadow link tree created with lndir(1) after files have been
       removed from the real directory.

       A message will be printed upon encountering each dangling symlink and empty directory.
