== Usage ==
 
−
 
 
−
The script must be run as '''root'''.
 
−
 
 
−
Typical usage & output:
 
−
./lostfiles > changes
 
−
Loading registered files...
 
−
Finding local files...
 
−
Finding local directories...
 
−
Finding local links...
 
−
Done.
 
−
Where:
 
−
* ''changes'' is a file containing a list of added/removed files
 
−
* "Loading registered files..." - doesn't take time, since pacman's DB is used
 
−
* "Finding local *..." - takes longer, since the script uses find to look for all the installed files
 
−
 
 
−
== Output ==
 
−
* "+" lines denote files which are not in pacman's DB
 
−
* "-" lines denote files which are in pacman's DB but are no longer in the filesystem
 
−
[some bugs in pacman ([http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3698 bug#3698]) may create erroneous output when it comes to directories]
 
−
 
 
−
== Sample Situation ==
 
−
Assuming you have some application with a custom installer for which you do not know (yet) how to make a PKGBUILD. You could create a snapshot of the filesystems '''before''' and one '''after'''. Making a diff between the two snapshots will reveal the changes in the files (added/removed files) which occurred during the install.

Lostfiles is a script for detecting orphaned files (files which are not owned by any Arch Linux packages).

The script ignores by default a series of directories where packages should not install files. Some files might appear as removed if they're placed in those directories which are not checked.

Script source

#!/bin/bash

# LostFiles v0.2
# License: GPL v2.0 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

# Initially scripted by the Arch Linux Community
# Mircea Bardac (dev AT mircea.bardac.net)
# http://mircea.bardac.net/
# Modified by Jan Janssen

# Description:
# Search for files which are not part of installed Arch Linux packages

# Usage:
#  lostfiles > changes
# changes is a file containing a list of added/removed files

if [ $UID != "0" ]; then
       echo "You must run this script as root." 1>&2
       exit
