| 6 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|

|---|
| 8 | remove files from the file exchange that have already been picked up |
|---|
| 9 | by students. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | Arguments are parsed in the order they appear on the command line. A |
|---|
| 12 | plus sign followed by a number n means only remove files at least n |
|---|
| 13 | days old. A minus sign followed by a number n means only remove files |
|---|
| 14 | at most n days old. These may be combined to specify a range. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | A hyphen followed by a letter is an option. An argument that starts |
|---|
| 17 | with a digit is an assignment number. You may retrieve files for all |
|---|
| 18 | assignments by leaving out the assignment number. Any other argument |
|---|
| 19 | is a username. If no usernames are specified on the command line, all |
|---|
| 20 | students' files will be considered for removal. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | .SH OPTIONS |
|---|
| 23 | All options are recognized by their first letter. For example, |
|---|
| 24 | -course is usually abbreviated -c, but -class or -co would also be |
|---|
| 25 | recognized, because each starts with the letter c. |
