Functions
FS_API bool	cleanup (UT_StringArray &removed, UT_StringArray &error_files, exint &memory_freed, bool dry_run, const char *override_path=nullptr)

Detailed Description

Houdini generates temporary files in $HOUDINI_TEMP/usd_renders. If a process crashes or doesn't clean up properly, there can be stale files left dangling.

These are convenience functions for dealing with these temporary files.

Function Documentation

FS_API bool FS_StaleUSDFiles::cleanup	(	UT_StringArray &	removed,
		UT_StringArray &	error_files,
		exint &	memory_freed,
		bool	dry_run,
		const char *	override_path = nullptr
	)

Clean up any stale USD files, returning the list of files in the removed array. If the function fails to remove a file, the filename will be added to the error_files.

The dry_run boolean lets you call the function without actually making changes to the file system. Files which would be removed are returned in the removed list.

The file returns true if there were stale files detected.
