DUP-RM(1)

✨ dup-rm — Remove snapshot ✨

okay bestie so like… this is the dup-rm manual page, from the General Commands Manual section (section 1, the "commands you actually type" section 💅). It's giving "small tool, one job, does it slay." Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dup-rm [-v] [-k keyfile] [-r repo] name

Like, that's the whole vibe check right there — you got your flags, you got your name, and you're done ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So dup-rm removes the snapshot specified by name. That's it. That's the whole thing. It takes the snapshot you point at and it yeets it 🗑️✨

No cap, it doesn't do anything else. main character energy: minimal, efficient, iconic 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -k keyfile — path to the encryption key, bestie 🔑 like if your repo is encrypted you gotta hand it the keyfile so it can actually get in there.
• -r repo — path to the dedup repository. And lowkey important: by default, the current working directory is used. so if you don't pass this, it's just gonna assume you're already standing in the repo 🙈
• -v — enable verbose mode. she'll tell you what she's doing 💬✨

⭐ CAVEATS ⭐

okay so this is the part where you pay attention fr fr 👀

dup-rm relies on filesystem specific capabilities to perform its operation. And if the filesystem implementation does not support hole punching, dup-rm will fail gracefully without removing any data. So like — nothing gets deleted, it just kinda shrugs and walks away 💀 which honestly? respectful. no accidental data loss, we stan a cautious queen 🙏✨

ngl the phrase "fail gracefully without removing any data" is the most reassuring thing on this whole page. hole punching support = the vibe check your filesystem has to pass 🕳️👊
