UNSTOW(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual UNSTOW(1)

unstow
unstow packages much faster than stow -D

unstow [-nv] [-d stow_dir] [-t target_dir] packages ...

The unstow command is a utility to unstow packages. It performs much faster than “stow -D” because unstow searches a package directory for stowed files while stow(1) searches the target directory for matching symlinks.

unstow does not check if a symlink to be removed points to a file of the named package, so please double check if you are specifying the correct package.

The following command line arguments are supported:

Show the help screen and exit.

Show Unstow and Stow version numbers and exit.

Do not actually make changes.

Be verbose.

DIR
Set stow dir to DIR (default is current dir).

DIR
Set target to DIR (default is parent of stow dir).

stow(1)

The unstow utility was written in around 2008 and first released on December 2009.
