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.
