Right, I was thinking something along the lines of checking how much
space would be needed if I wanted to keep X days of cache, not how much
space I would free if I purged files older than Y days.

Humm, lemme see how ccache does this operation... That would be an
existing cache management workflow that we could reuse:


[acme@zoo linux]$ ccache --help
Usage:
ccache [options]
ccache compiler [compiler options]
compiler [compiler options] (via symbolic link)

Options:
-c, --cleanup delete old files and recalculate size counters
(normally not needed as this is done automatically)
-C, --clear clear the cache completely
-F, --max-files=N set maximum number of files in cache to N (use 0 for
no limit)
-M, --max-size=SIZE set maximum size of cache to SIZE (use 0 for no
limit; available suffixes: G, M and K; default
suffix: G)
-s, --show-stats show statistics summary
-z, --zero-stats zero statistics counters

-h, --help print this help text
-V, --version print version and copyright information

[acme@zoo linux]$

So, there you go, the 'clear' keywoard being used for doing what you
called 'removeall' and I called --remove '*'. Perhaps asking if the user
really wants to do that while, just like with the time limited 'remove'
operations showing how much space it will release (albeit that could
take some time to calculate...)?

Ok!
