KDESTROY(1)

📦 version 7.8.0, in epel 10, epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ KDESTROY ✨

okay bestie come CLOSER, this is kdestroy from the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, the "random little programs you type at a prompt" section 💅) and she is literally the cleanup crew of the Kerberos world.

🎀 NAME 🎀

kdestroy — remove one credential or destroy the current ticket file

like... she's the girl who closes the tab. the one who logs you out. the one who takes your tickets and says "no more 💖".

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kdestroy [-c cachefile] [--credential=principal] [--cache=cachefile]
         [-A | --all] [--no-unlog] [--no-delete-v4] [--version] [--help]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole vibe of kdestroy is: she removes one credential or the current set of tickets. that's it. that's the job. she's not complicated, she's just thorough 🧚

Supported options:

  • -credential=principal — removes principal from the credential cache, but only if it's actually in there. if it's not, she's not gonna make a whole thing of it ✨
  • -c cachefile
  • -cache=cachefile — the cache file to remove. yes, this is listed as the same thing twice with two different spellings, and no, we don't make the rules, we just slay within them 💅
  • -A
  • --all — remove all credential caches. every single one. the whole group chat, cleared 🫶
  • --no-unlog — do not remove AFS tokens. like, leave the AFS tokens alone, she said what she said.
  • --no-delete-v4 — do not remove v4 tickets. v4 tickets stay. protected. iconic behavior honestly.
  • --version — shows you the version, standard queen behavior 👑
  • --help — shows you the help, also standard queen behavior 🌈
fr fr bestie: this is a removal tool. that is the entire point. no cap, if you run her, things get destroyed. that's not a bug, that's the name 🍓

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟
