The stmpclean utility removes old files (and old
empty directories) from the specified directory.
It is meant to be used to clean directories such
as "/tmp" where old files tend to accumulate.
stmpclean never removes files or directories owned
by root, which is a feature, not a bug. Great care
is taken while descending into the directory, and
the operation is secure. Anything that's not a
directory, regular file, or symbolic link is also
left alone (because programs like screen(1) create
sockets and FIFOs under /tmp and expect them to be
long-lived). Unlike other programs that do the
same task, stmpclean never forks and consumes
limited amount of memory. If stmpclean determines
a race condition it will log the situation and
exit with a failure.
