The directory is recursively searched for flow files\&. Files that do not have a flow-tools signature will be ignored\&. The internal timestamp is used so backups or copies of the flow files that do not retain the original timestamp will not impact the operation of \fBflow-expire\fP\&. \fBflow-expire\fP is typically used to manage storage in a distributed environment where flows are collected on a different server than they are archived\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .IP "-d\fI debug_level\fP" 10 Enable debugging\&. .IP "-e\fI expire_count\fP" 10 Retain the maximum number of files so that the total file count is less than \fIexpire_count\fP\&. .IP "-E\fI expire_size\fP" 10 Retain the maximum number of files so that the total storage is less than \fIexpire_size\fP\&.
