.I findunref
\- find unused files in a source tree
.SH SYNOPSIS
findunref [\fB-s\fP \fIsubtree\fP] [\fB-t\fP \fItstampfile\fP]
[\fB-S\fP \fBhg\fP|\fBtw\fP|\fBgit\fP] \fIsrcroot\fP \fIexceptfile\fP
.LP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX "OS-Net build tools" "findunref" "" "\fBfindunref\fP"
.LP
The findunref utility lists the files in a source tree which have not been
accessed more recently than a particular timestamp file.  Although
findunref may be used on its own, it is usually invoked by
\fBnightly\fP(1) to find files that are never referenced during a given
build (see \fB-f\fP in \fBnightly\fP(1)).
.LP
The root of the source tree to examine is specified by \fIsrcroot\fP.  To
simplify comparing findunref output from different source trees, findunref
outputs all filenames relative to \fIsrcroot\fP.
.LP
Some files in a source tree may be intentionally unreferenced (e.g.,
documentation) or only referenced during specialized types of builds.
Accordingly, \fIexceptfile\fP names a file containing a list of pathname
globs that will be ignored by findunref.  Within \fIexceptfile\fP, any
lines consisting solely of whitespace or starting with \fB#\fP will be
ignored.  Directory globs may also be specified, which will cause any
matching directories to be skipped entirely.  If no exceptions are
desired, \fIexceptfile\fP can be \fB/dev/null\fP.
.LP
Depending on how findunref is invoked, it can either check all files, or
limit its checks to files under control of a specific source code
management (SCM) system.
.LP
To limit checks to files managed by Mercurial, the \fBhg\fP(1) utility must be
present in \fB$PATH\fP and any relevant repositories must be located at or
under \fIsrcroot\fP.  Nested Mercurial repositories are supported.
.LP
To limit checks to files managed by Git, the \fBgit\fP(1) utility must be
present in \fB$PATH\fP and any relevant repositories must be located at or
under \fIsrcroot\fP.  Nested Git repositories are \fInot\fR supported.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 10
.B -s \fIsubtree\fP
Only look under \fIsubtree\fP for unreferenced files.  By default, all
directories under \fIsrcroot\fP are examined.
.TP 10
.B -t \fItstampfile\fP
Consider files older than \fItstampfile\fP to be unreferenced.
By default, \fIsrcroot\fB/.build.tstamp\fR is used.
.TP 10
.B -S \fBhg\fP|\fBtw\fP|\fBgit\fP
Only check files that are managed by the specified SCM.  To simplify
interaction with \fBwhich_scm\fP(1), the SCM names "mercurial" and
"teamware" may also be specified for "hg" and "tw", respectively.
By default, all files are checked.
.SH SEE ALSO
.LP
\fBgit\fP(1),
\fBhg\fP(1),
\fBnightly\fP(1),
\fBwhich_scm\fP(1)
.SH NOTES
Since many files are only used when building for a particular ISA (e.g.,
Makefiles that are specific to x86 or SPARC), builds must be done on all
applicable ISAs and the results merged.  For instance, if nightly builds
(with \fB-f\fP) are done on both SPARC and x86, \fBusr/src\fP will be
populated with a corresponding \fBunref-\fIisa\fB.out\fR file, which can
be merged with \fBcomm\fP(1):
.LP
.nf
comm -12 /path/to/unref-i386.out
         /path/to/unref-sparc.out > unref.out
.fi
.LP
This merged file can then be compared against the gate's latest
unreferenced file list (e.g. \fB/ws/onnv-gate/usr/src/unrefmaster.out\fP).
.LP
Different gates have different unreferenced file policies.  Any changes to
\fIexceptfile\fP that would define new unreferenced file policies for a
given gate must be cleared with the appropriate gatekeepers.
