NAME
       ptclean - clean up the parameterized types database

SYNOPSIS
       ptclean

DESCRIPTION
       ptclean	removes	 all  the  data	 from  the default templates database,
       except the Template.opt file, which you may have modified.  This	 data‐
       base,  currently,  a subdirectory called Templates.DB, is used to store
       parameterized type  (template)  instantiations.	 Since	templates  are
       instantiated automatically by the compiler, changes in your program can
       render some already-instantiated templates superfluous,	but  the  com‐
       piler  cannot efficiently verify which instantiations are not currently
       used.  So you can use the ptclean command to remove all the  instantia‐
       tions,  temporary  files,  and dependency files from the database.  One
       reasonable way to use this command is as one of the  commands  executed
       by the clean: target in your Makefile.

FILES
       Templates.DB	      The  default  database  (directory)  of template
			      instantiations

       Templates.DB/Template.opt
			      Instantiation options file, the "mapfile"

       Templates.DB/*.o	      Template instantiation files

       Templates.DB/*.state   Files that keep track of dependencies

       Templates.DB/*.system  Auxiliary dependency and map files

       Templates.DB/*.promise Auxiliary dependency and map files

       Templates.DB/*.lock    Database lock files

       Templates.DB/*.module  Auxiliary dependency files

LIMITATIONS
       ptclean cannot clean up any alternate template databases.
