local directoy
SYNOPSIScharon.local--dir directory --maxage days (--profile identifier |
--all) [--dry-run] [--verbose] [--help]
The program charon.local removes backup archives created by tartarus
from a local directory once they reach a certain age and expire. Files
that are older than the number of days specified on the command line
are considerer candidates for removal unless other, non-expired backups
are based on them, so full backups may survive longer than expected.

--maxage n
Set the maximum number of days after which a backup is expired.
--profile name
Set the profile name to process. This is mandatory unless --all is
supplied.
--all
When this is set, charon.local operates on all files disregarding
the profile name.
--dry-run
This option prevents charon from actually deleting files.
--verbose
This option makes charon more verbose about the actions made
--help
This parameter shows a brief command reference.

/var/backups/tartarus/ created by Tartarus with the profile name "home"
which exceed the age of 7 days:
$ charon.local--dir /var/tartarus/backups/ --profile home --maxage 7 --verbose
