GRID-PROXY-DESTROY(1)

💅 GRID-PROXY-DESTROY — the grid-proxy-destroy page, but make it cute

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about grid-proxy-destroy, a lil program from the Grid Community Toolkit manual, and its whole job is destroying your default proxy certificate. yes. it's giving cleanup era. ✨

🎀 NAME

grid-proxy-destroy — Destroy the default proxy certificate. that's it, that's the mission, she's an icon of subtraction 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS

grid-proxy-destroy -help | -usage | -version

grid-proxy-destroy [-debug] [-dryrun] [-default] [-- FILENAME ...]

look at her. so simple. so powerful. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓: the grid-proxy-destroy program removes X.509 proxy files from the local filesystem. and no, it doesn't just yeet them into the void — it overwrites the data in the files and then removes the files from the filesystem. double-tap. no recovery arc. no cap. 💀

by default? it removes the current user's default proxy. and that default proxy is either:

• /tmp/x509up_u'UID' — where UID is the current POSIX user id, or
• the file pointed to by the X509_USER_PROXY environment variable

...unless a list of proxy file paths are included as part of the command line. in which case, girl, it does what you told it to. 🙈

also! use the -- command-line option to separate a list of proxy paths from command line options if the proxy file begins with the - character. that little dash will absolutely confuse her otherwise and we don't want that.

💅 OPTIONS

the full list of command-line options to grid-proxy-destroy are, in all their glory 👑

• -help, -usage — Display the command-line options to grid-proxy-destroy. she's telling you what she can do. main character energy honestly. 🌈
• -version — Display the version number of the grid-proxy-destroy command. get the receipts, know which era of her you're dealing with. ⭐
• -debug — Display verbose error messages. when something goes sideways you get the whole story, not just a cryptic sigh. 😭
• -dryrun — Do not remove the proxy, but display the path of the files that would have been removed — or the directory where they would have been removed from if the -all command-line option is used. it's the "pretend" button. manifesting the deletion without committing. 🧚
• -default — Remove the default proxy in addition to the files included on the command-line. Only needed if other paths are included on the command-line. so she's additive, not jealous. 🫶
• -all — Remove the default proxy and all delegated proxies in the temporary file directory. full sweep. everything goes. 🔥

💜 ENVIRONMENT

these environment variables affect the execution of grid-proxy-destroy:

• X509_USER_PROXY — Path to the default user proxy. she reads this to figure out which proxy is the proxy. iykyk. 🎀
