👑 incus.operation.delete — deleting background operations (bestie edition)

okay so. you know how incus be doing stuff in the background and you're like "girl what are you doing" and it's just chillin there being an operation? yeah. this is the command that goes "you. delete. now." 💅

It's part of the Incus command line client, and it's giving main character energy but for cleanup. And yes, it will attempt to cancel — attempt being the key word here, we'll get to that.

✨ NAME ✨

incus-operation-delete — Delete background operations (will attempt to cancel)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

incus operation delete [<remote>:]<operation>... [flags]

lowkey just point it at one or more operations and let it cook. 🍓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Description:

Delete background operations (will attempt to cancel)

that's it. that's the whole thing. she's simple, she's effective, she's an iconic little cleanup crew. the "will attempt to cancel" part is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that sentence ngl — it's a attempt, not a guarantee, so pls don't come for her if an operation is already too deep in its villain arc. 😭

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these didn't come from this command, they're hand-me-downs from the parent and they slay just the same 💖

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every single one. she is oversharing and we respect it.
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. basically "read me the recipe before you actually start cooking" 🧚
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. no remote business, we stayin home 🏠
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the comfort blanket. 🫶
  • --project="" — override the source project. (the manpage really did type an extra backtick there, we don't talk about it 🙈)
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. sometimes you just want silence, and honestly? valid.
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. the lil tour guide of sub-commands 🎀
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. she's telling you everything.
  • --version[=false] — print version number. who dis? 🔥
