@node Clear
@section Clear

Clear excess number of messages with:

@example
$ ./feeds-clear.zsh
$ cmd/clear.zsh feeds/FEED # to clear single feed
@end example

By default (@env{$FEEDER_MAX_ITEMS}) only 100 entries are processed.
Parser only appends posts, but does not remove obsolete ones.

You can set that limit on per-feed basis:

@example
$ echo 50 > feed/FEED/max
@end example

@strong{0} means no limit and keep all the messages.

Pay attention that @file{new/} directory is not touched, so you won't
loose completely new and unread messages when you are on vacation and
left @command{cron}-ed workers.

To clean download state for some reason:

@example
$ cmd/download-clean.sh feed/FEED
@end example
