Usually, the contents of files given to Squirrel are made available within the application through a runtime selection which is discarded again when the application quits. Getting the cached meta-data into the runtime selection can be a bottleneck for application startup with large datasets. To speed up startup of Squirrel-based applications, persistent selections created with the --persistent option can be used.

This command allows to list and delete persistent selections.

{list,delete}
