NAME¶
s3qlrm - Fast tree removal on S3QL file systems
SYNOPSIS¶
s3qlrm [options] <directory>
DESCRIPTION¶
S3QL is a file system for online data storage. Before using S3QL, make sure to
consult the full documentation (rather than just the man pages which only
briefly document the available userspace commands).
The
s3qlrm command recursively deletes files and directories on an S3QL
file system. Although
s3qlrm is faster than using e.g.
rm -r`,
the main reason for its existence is that it allows you to delete immutable
trees (which can be created with
s3qllock) as well.
Be warned that there is no additional confirmation. The directory will be
removed entirely and immediately.
s3qlrm can only be called by the user that mounted the file system and
(if the file system was mounted with
--allow-other or
--allow-root) the root user.
OPTIONS¶
The
s3qlrm command accepts the following options:
- --debug-modules <modules>
- Activate debugging output from specified modules (use commas to separate
multiple modules). Debug messages will be written to the target specified
by the --log option.
- --debug
- Activate debugging output from all S3QL modules. Debug messages will be
written to the target specified by the --log option.
- --quiet
- be really quiet
- --version
- just print program version and exit
EXIT CODES¶
s3qlrm may terminate with the following exit codes:
- 0
- Everything went well.
- 1
- An unexpected error occured. This may indicate a bug in the program.
- 2
- Invalid command line argument.
