How to negate tmpwatch exclude-pattern

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I want to negate --exclude-pattern option so that tmpwatch excludes all but files matching the pattern.



For exemple , if I want to remove only *.gz files it would be something like that :



 tmpwatch 10d --exclude-pattern=!*.gz .


I appreciate your help as tmpwatch manpage isn't really helpful.




-X, --exclude-pattern=pattern
Skip paths matching pattern; if a directory matches pattern, all files contained in it are skipped too. pattern must match an absolute path that contains no symbolic links.
