## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Nifty Clean is a small Unix/POSIX C utility for finding backup-style files using regular expressions from a user rc file and deleting them interactively or in batch mode.

### Projektgeschichte

The SourceForge project describes Clean as public-domain C software targeting Unix/POSIX systems. Its project registration date places it in the early-2000s SourceForge era of small single-purpose command-line utilities.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Its packaging in Homebrew and Nix reflects continued interest in tiny maintenance commands even when upstream activity is low.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users define regexes in `~/.cleanrc`, then run the `clean` executable to locate and remove matching files, with optional per-file confirmation or batch deletion.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Clean is the kind of small, public-domain Unix utility package that package-manager catalogs preserve: narrow scope, rc-file configuration, no service dependency, and useful behavior for shell-driven file housekeeping.
