pinprick

clean

Remove the local audit cache at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/pinprick/audited/ (default ~/.cache/pinprick/audited/). This directory stores results from previous pinprick audit runs so that already-scanned action SHAs can be skipped on future runs.

Terminal window
pinprick clean

When to use

Section titled “When to use”
  • To discard local verdicts and repeat source scans. Entries from older scanner versions are already ignored automatically; --no-audited-catalog also bypasses bundled and remote verdicts for a single audit
  • To reclaim disk space from accumulated cache entries
  • To troubleshoot unexpected audit results

Output

Section titled “Output”
$ pinprick clean
Cache cleaned.

If there is nothing to clean:

$ pinprick clean
Nothing to clean.

A filesystem error exits 2 and is reported on stderr; a failed removal is never reported as a successful cleanup.
