# blkfree

A program to keep directories / disks cleanup up - it frees blocks, thus the name.

## Getting started

You need:

- node >= 12

- yarn -> `npm install -g yarn`

Install project dependencies:

```

yarn install

```

... then build

```

yarn build

```

## Running

Currently, run it from the directory of the checkout via `yarn`:

```

$ yarn blkfree free --help

blkfree free

Free space when required

Options:

  --help     Show help                          [boolean]

  --version  Show version number                [boolean]

  --path     Path to check                      [string] [default: "."]

  --reserve  When to free space (ie: "10%", "100M", "1G")

                                                [string] [default: "100M"]

  --delete   Really delete files?               [boolean] [default: false]

  --watch    Run in continuous mode?            [boolean] [default: false]

```

## Example

```

yarn blkfree free --watch --reserve 100M --path ~/Downloads --delete

```

... deletes the oldest file in `~/Downloads` when free space on partition falls below 100MB. Runs in watch mode, ie. continuously monitors space, and actually deletes files (omit `--delete` to dry-run).
