NAME
       cgclear - unload the cgroup filesystem


SYNOPSIS
       cgclear [-e] [-l <filename>] [-L <directory>] [...]


DESCRIPTION
       Without  parameters,  this  command  moves all the tasks inside the various cgroups to the
       root cgroup, deletes all the cgroups and finally unmounts the cgroup filesystem  from  the
       system.

       If  one  or  more  config files are specified, only groups defined in the config files are
       removed. The files are processed in reverse order, i.e. the last file on command  line  is
       processed first, so cgclear can have the same command line arguments as appropriate cgcon‐
       figparser.


       -l, --load=<filename>
              specifies the config file to read. This option can be used multiple times  and  can
              be mixed with -L option.


       -L, --load-directory=<directory>
              specifies  the  directory,  which is searched for configuration files. All files in
              this directory will be processed in alphabetical order as they were specified by -l
              option. This option can be used multiple times and can be mixed with -l option.


       -e     specifies  that only empty groups should be removed. If a group defined in a config
              file has tasks inside or has a subgroup, it won't be  removed.  This  option  works
              only with -l or -L options.
