+# Emacs Cleaner `0.1.0`
+
+Remove emacs temporary files
+
+## Usage
+
+Simple utility.
+``` shell
+$ emacs-cleaner .
+$ emacs-cleaner --threads 20 .
+$ emacs-cleaner --dry .
+```
+
+Default amount of threads is `10`. If given `--dry` will only print results and won't unlink anything. 
+Give `--threads` the value `1` for single threaded usage (recommended for slow disks, strange filesystems, or NFS mounts.)
+
+## Building
+
+To just run:
+``` shell
+$ go run emacs-cleaner.go
+```
+
+To just build the binary:
+``` shell
+$ go build emacs-cleaner.go
+```
+
+To build and install:
+``` shell
+$ make && sudo make install
+```
+The default install path is `/usr/local/bin`, change `INSTALL_DIR` in `Makefile` to specify location.
+

+``` shell
+$ sudo make uninstall
+```
