All files that match any regular expression in a file C (if such a file exists) are ignored. -manicheck() checks if all the files within a C in the -current directory really do exist.

If C and the tree below the current +directory are in sync it exits silently, returning an empty list. Otherwise +it returns a list of files which are listed in the C but missing +from the directory, and by default also outputs these names to STDERR. filecheck() finds files below the current directory that are not mentioned in the C file. An optional file C will be consulted. Any file matching a regular expression in such a -file will not be reported as missing in the C file. +file will not be reported as missing in the C file. The list of +any extraneous files found is returned, and by default also reported to +STDERR. -fullcheck() does both a manicheck() and a filecheck(). +fullcheck() does both a manicheck() and a filecheck(), returning references +to two arrays, the first for files manicheck() found to be missing, the +seond for unexpeced files found by filecheck(). skipcheck() lists all the files that are skipped due to your C file.
