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. This limitation might be removed in the
future (see
issue 155).
OPTIONS¶
The
s3qlrm command accepts the following options:
- --debug
- activate debugging output
- --quiet
- be really quiet
- --version
- just print program version and exit
EXIT STATUS¶
s3qlrm returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error
occurred.
SEE ALSO¶
The S3QL homepage is at
http://code.google.com/p/s3ql/.
The full S3QL documentation should also be installed somewhere on your system,
common locations are
/usr/share/doc/s3ql or
/usr/local/doc/s3ql.
