💅 CHICKEN-UNINSTALL — uninstall extension library

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's all about chicken-uninstall, the little icon that ✨removes✨ extension libraries from your CHICKEN Scheme setup. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chicken-uninstall [OPTION ...] [NAME ...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so chicken-uninstall removes one or more already installed extension libraries for the CHICKEN Scheme system. that's it, that's the job. 🧹

and here's the cute part: PATTERN can be a regular expression naming multiple extensions, or it can just be a plain extension name. either way, she's matching and she's deleting. no cap.

the program accepts the following arguments:

  • -h, -help — show usage and dip. that's it, that's the whole thing. 👋
  • -version — show the version and exit. short and sweet.
  • -force — don't ask, just delete whatever matches. she does NOT do small talk. 💀
  • -match — treat NAME as a glob pattern.
  • -s, -sudo — use an external program to elevate privileges for deleting files. this program defaults to sudo(8), but you can override it with the SUDO environment variable. 🔐
  • -host — when cross-compiling, only uninstall host extensions.
  • -target — when cross-compiling, only uninstall target extensions.
ngl the -force one is giving main character energy — she will delete first and never ask questions. be sure you meant it. 😭

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

these environment variables change the behaviour of chicken-uninstall:

  • CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY — the path where extension libraries are installed. defaults to the package library path selected during configuration (usually $prefix/lib/chicken/<binary-version>). 📁
  • SUDO — the command to execute when using the -s flag in command. if not provided, it defaults to sudo(8). ✨

🦋 EXIT STATUS 🦋

the chicken-uninstall utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. so 0 = slay, anything else = something went sideways. 💖
