+cdist-type__clean_path(7)
+=========================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__clean_path - Remove files and directories which match the pattern.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Remove files and directories which match the pattern.
+
+Provided path (as __object_id) must be a directory.
+
+Patterns are passed to ``find``'s ``-regex`` - see ``find(1)`` for more details.
+
+Look up of files and directories is non-recursive (``-maxdepth 1``).
+
+Parent directory is excluded (``-mindepth 1``).
+
+This type is not POSIX compatible (sorry, Solaris users).
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+pattern
+   Pattern of files which are removed from path.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+exclude
+   Pattern of files which are excluded from removal.
+
+onchange
+   The code to run if files or directories were removed.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    __clean_path /etc/apache2/conf-enabled \
+        --pattern '.+' \
+        --exclude '.+\(charset\.conf\|security\.conf\)' \
+        --onchange 'service apache2 restart'
