## 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  re‐
       moved.  The  files are processed in reverse order, i.e. the last file on command line is pro‐
       cessed first, so **cgclear** can have the same command line arguments  as  appropriate  **cgconfig**‐‐
       **parser**.


### -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
              file  has  tasks inside or has a subgroup, it won't be removed. This option works only
              with **-l** or **-L** options.


## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       **CGROUP**___**LOGLEVEL**
              controls verbosity of the tool. Allowed values are **DEBUG**, **INFO**, **WARNING** or **ERROR**.
