NAME

keep - a program that keeps the files you tell it to and deletes everything else in the current directory.

SYNOPSIS

keep [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where the list of files in a directory that you want to keep is shorter than the list of files you want to delete. keep is a program designed for just such an occasion.

EXAMPLE

As an example, say that you have a directory containing:

banana kiwi strawberry grapefruit melon cumquat coconut pineapple

Now, you want to delete every file in the directory except kiwi, coconut, and melon. Traditionally, you would use a command similar to the following:

$ rm banana strawberry grapefruit cumquat pineapple

Here is the alternative, using the keep command:

$ keep kiwi coconut melon

As you can see, that is much easier and more logical in a situation like this.

OPTIONS

-i, --interactive: Enables interactive mode. keep will prompt you before deleting any files.
-v, --versbose: Enables verbose mode. keep will describe in detail what it is doing.
-f, --force: Does not prompt prior to deleting files. Use this option with caution.
-h, --help: Displays a brief help message.
--version: Displays the version information for keep.
