The tpm purge-thl command is designed to assist with identifying the safe removal of THL based on the following rules:

• Gather the last applied seqno from all Replica nodes and take the lowest one
• Find the current THL file which contains that seqno, then locate the previous one
• Constructs a thl purge command to remove thl thru the last seqno in the prev file

A replicator service name name may be optionally specified as the last argument, for example:

shell> tpm purge-thl -A alpha

The default behavior is to display the needed commands for the admin to execute manually.
