                      2: .SH NAME
                      3: rcsclean \- clean up working files
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: \fBrcsclean\fR [ \fB-r\fIrev\fR ] [ \fB-q\fIrev\fR ] file...
                      6: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      7: .I Rcsclean
                      8: removes working files that were checked out and never modified.
                      9: For each file given, \fIrcsclean\fR
                     10: compares the working file and a revision in the corresponding
                     11: RCS file. If it finds no difference, it removes the working file, and,
                     12: if the revision was locked by the caller, unlocks the revision.
                     13: .PP
                     14: A file name ending in ',v' is an RCS file name, otherwise a
                     15: working file name. \fIRcsclean\fR derives the working file name from the RCS
                     16: file name and vice versa, as explained in
                     17: .IR co (1L).
                     18: Pairs consisting
                     19: of both an RCS and a working file name may also be specified.
                     20: .PP
                     21: \fIRev\fR specifies with which revision the working file is compared.
                     22: If \fIrev\fR is omitted, \fIrcsclean\fR compares the working file with
                     23: the latest revision
                     24: on the default branch (normally the highest branch on the trunk).
                     25: The option \fB-q\fR suppresses diagnostics.
                     26: .PP
                     27: \fIRcsclean\fR is useful for "clean" targets in Makefiles.
                     28: Note that
                     29: .IR rcsdiff (1L)
                     30: prints out the differences.
                     31: Also,
                     32: .IR ci (1L)
                     33: normally asks whether to check in a file
                     34: if it was not changed.
                     35: .SH EXAMPLES
