/// # Purpose {#balb_filecleanerutil-purpose}
/// Provide a utility class for configuration-based file removal.
///
/// # Classes {#balb_filecleanerutil-classes}
///
/// -  balb::FileCleanerUtil: utility class for removing selected files
///
/// @see  balb_filecleanerconfiguration
///
/// # Description {#balb_filecleanerutil-description}
/// This component defines a `struct`, `balb::FileCleanerUtil`,
/// that provides a utility function for removing files based on a
/// configuration.
///
/// ## General Features and Behavior {#balb_filecleanerutil-general-features-and-behavior}
///
///
/// The `removeFiles` function implements generic filename pattern matching and
/// removal logic.  The user is responsible for calling this function with
/// parameters that do not cause any interference with the application logic.
/// Specifically, the user must pay attention to the supplied pattern to avoid
/// removal of important application data files.  See
/// @ref balb_filecleanerconfiguration  for further information.
///
/// ## Usage {#balb_filecleanerutil-usage}
///
///
/// This section illustrates intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Basic Usage {#balb_filecleanerutil-example-1-basic-usage}
///
///
/// The following snippets of code illustrate the basic usage of
/// `balb::FileCleanerUtil`.
///
/// Let's assume that the application was set up to log to files having the
/// following pattern:
/// @code
/// const char *appLogFilePattern = "/var/log/myApp/log*";
/// @endcode
/// We want to clean up all the files older then a week, but leave at least 4
/// latest log files.  First, we create a cleanup configuration object that will
/// capture our parameters:
/// @code
/// balb::FileCleanerConfiguration config(
///             appLogFilePattern,
///             bsls::TimeInterval(bdlt::TimeUnitRatio::k_SECONDS_PER_DAY * 7),
///             4);
/// @endcode
/// Then, we use this configuration to do a file cleanup:
/// @code
/// balb::FileCleanerUtil::removeFiles(config);
/// @endcode
/// @}
