💅 c8y(1) — the firmware patches delete glow-up

okay so you're looking at the c8y manual, section 1, and bestie, this page is specifically about the c8y-firmware-patches-delete command. yes it's a long name, no we're not changing it, it's iconic. let's go ✨

🎀 NAME

c8y-firmware-patches-delete — Delete firmware package version patch

🦋 SYNOPSIS

c8y firmware patches delete [flags]

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Deletes an existing firmware package version patch. that's it, that's the vibe. you point at a patch, it's gone. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the actual menu of things you can pass. every single one, no gatekeeping 🫶

  • --firmware=[] — Firmware id or name (used to help completion be more accurate). it's basically a hint so your shell autocomplete doesn't fumble the bag.
  • --forceCascade[=true] — Remove version and any related binaries. lowkey destructive, so know what you're doing 💀
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for delete. the classic "what does this do again" button.
  • --id=[] — Firmware patch id or name (required) (accepts pipeline). yes required, no you can't skip it, it's the main character of this command 👑
  • --processingMode="" — Cumulocity processing mode.

💜 EXAMPLE 💜

look at these, they're literally the whole point:

$ c8y firmware patches delete --id 12345
Delete a firmware patch and related binary
$ c8y firmware patches delete --id 12345 --forceCascade=false
Delete a firmware patch (but keep the related binary)

see how --forceCascade=false keeps the related binary around? the way that one flag changes everything 😭🎀
