NAME
cruft - Check the filesystem for cruft (missing and unexplained files) SYNOPSIS
cruft [-h] [-d DRIVES] [--chroots CHROOTS] [--ignore IGNORES] [-r REPORTFILE] [-m ADDRESS] [-k | -n | -N] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cruft command. Please see /usr/share/doc/cruft/README.gz for more information. cruft is a program that goes over the Debian packaging system's database, and compares the contents of that with the files actually on your system, and produces a summary of the differences. OPTIONS
The following options are recognized: -h Show a summary of options and exit. -d DRIVES Search only the listed filesystems. DRIVES should be an absolute path, or a quoted, space-separated list of multiple absolute paths (eg, "/ /usr /home"). Multiple -d options are allowed as well. If not specified, cruft attempts to autodetect which filesystems to scan. --chroots CHROOTS Do not perform validity checks on symlinks under these directories. Useful for whatever chroots are set up in the system. --ignore IGNORES Treat the directory trees in IGNORES as if they did not exist. IGNORES should be an absolute path, or a quoted, space-separated list of multiple absolute paths. Multiple --ignore options are allowed as well. -r REPORTFILE Output report to REPORTFILE instead of standard output. -m ADDRESS Mail report to ADDRESS. -k Only cleanup cruft's spool directory. -n Generate input files for reporting, but do not generate a report. -N Only generate a report, based on old input files. With none of -k -n or -N cruft performs all the above three actions, that is cleans its own spool directory, generates new input files and produces a report. Please note that cruft never deletes any files outside its own spool directory. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
It is possible to get some debugging information from cruft by setting the variable CRUFT_DEBUG to 1. If you need more detailed information on what cruft is doing, set it to 2. SEE ALSO

update-fonts-dir(8)                                           System Manager's Manual                                          update-fonts-dir(8)

NAME
update-fonts-dir - compile fonts.dir files SYNOPSIS
update-fonts-dir [OPTION] directory ... DESCRIPTION
update-fonts-dir creates a fonts.dir file in an X font directory by invoking mkfontdir(1x) with the appropriate arguments. It is typically invoked only from the post-installation and post-removal scripts of a package containing fonts for the X Window System, but may be invoked at any time to reconstruct fonts.dir files. For each directory, which is simply the last component of its path (such as '75dpi' or 'misc'), update-fonts-dir will generate either /usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory/fonts.dir or /usr/share/fonts/X11/directory/fonts.dir from the fonts.scale and font files found within it. This enables multiple packages to provide names for fonts in the same directory. No font package actually provides the fonts.dir file in the X font directory itself, so there is no danger of overwriting one package's font names with those of another. For instance, the two packages 'xfonts-base' (real) and 'xfonts-nifty' (hypothetical) may both install fonts into the directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc, and update-fonts-dir will ensure that the fonts.dir file in that directory contains information about the font files provided by both packages. The format of fonts.dir files is described in the mkfontdir(1x) manual page. An example of how to use update-fonts-dir in package maintainer scripts is provided in the Debian Policy Manual. OPTIONS
-h, --help displays a brief usage message and exits. -7, --x11r7-layout switches the font layout to the one introduced in X11R7: fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11/directory (default is: fonts in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory) OPERANDS
update-fonts-dir takes one or more X font directory names to operate on as operands. Only the final path component of the directory name should be specified; e.g., update-fonts-dir 75dpi is correct, while 'update-fonts-dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi' and 'update-fonts-dir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi' are not. ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS indicates the width of the terminal device in character cells. This value is used for formatting diagnostic messages. If not set, the terminal is queried using stty(1) to determine its width. If that fails, a value of '80' is assumed. DIAGNOSTICS
Errors usage error: one or more font directories must be provided update-fonts-dir was invoked without operands. Supply one or more X font directory names to operate on. usage error: unrecognized option update-fonts-dir was invoked with an unrecognized option argument. Use only the options documented in "OPTIONS", above. fatal error: path to X font directory must be used A directory name was supplied that was not an X font directory name. Supply X font directory names only. Warnings warning: absolute path directory was provided Usage of absolute paths is deprecated. Use only the final component of the X font directory name for directory. warning: directory does not exist or is not a directory The supplied directory was invalid. update-fonts-dir skipped it. EXIT STATUS
0 update-fonts-dir ran successfully. 1 update-fonts-dir experienced a fatal error; see the section on diagnostic messages above. 2 update-fonts-dir was invoked with invalid arguments. BUGS
See the Debian Bug Tracking System <http://bugs.debian.org/xfonts-utils>. If you wish to report a bug in update-fonts-dir, please see /usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt or the reportbug(1) command. AUTHOR
