wajig: Remove a package and its configuration files.
$ wajig purge ${package}
try on your machine

The command "wajig purge ${package}" is a command that is used in Linux operating systems.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "wajig": It is a command-line package management tool that is used in Debian-based Linux distributions. It provides a simpler and more user-friendly interface to the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) and dpkg package management systems.

  • "purge": It is an action used in package management systems to remove a package and its associated configuration files completely from the system.

  • "${package}": This is a placeholder that represents the name of the package you want to remove and purge from your system. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you want to remove.

So, when you execute the command "wajig purge ${package}", it will use the "wajig" command to completely remove and purge the specified package and all its configuration files from your Linux system.
