πŸ’… lxc-file-delete β€” the one where files go bye-bye ✨

Okay so bestie, real talk: this is lxc-file-delete, part of the LXD - Command line client(1) manual. Yes, that's the manual name, it's giving "long title at the top of every page" energy πŸŽ€ and we're just living in it. Anyway β€” it deletes files in instances. That's the vibe. That's the whole gig. πŸ‘‘


🌸 NAME 🌸

lxc-file-delete β€” Delete files in instances

Like, delete. Files. In instances. No cap. πŸ—‘οΈ


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxc file delete [:]/ [[:]/...] [flags]

The [:]/ bits are paths, and you can stack more than one of them with [[:]/...] β€” so you're not limited to a single victim, you can list a whole squad of files. πŸ’€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Description: Delete files in instances

That's it. That's the description. It literally says "Delete files in instances" and honestly? Iconic minimalism. The manpage knows exactly what it is and refuses to elaborate. 🫢

heads up bestie β€” the name is delete and the description is delete, and there's no undo flag anywhere on this page. Read the room before you yeet something. πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’– OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS πŸ’–

These aren't even her options, she inherited them from the parent command. Generational wealth of flags, we love to see it. 🌈

  • --debug[=false] β€” show all debug messages. Default is false, so it's off until you say otherwise, and then it's yapping. πŸ›
  • --force-local[=false] β€” force using the local unix socket. Default false. When you absolutely need it to be local, local, local. 🏠
  • -h, --help[=false] β€” print help. Default false. The classic. The icon. The "wait what does this command do again" button. πŸ†˜
  • --project="" β€” override the source project. (And yes, the original page has two stray backticks dangling off the end of that line β€” ``Override the source project```` β€” I'm not fixing it, it's giving auto-generated πŸŽ€ the lore is the lore.)
  • -q, --quiet[=false] β€” don't show progress information. Default false. For when you want silence and inner peace. 🧘
  • --sub-commands[=false] β€” use with help or --help to view sub-commands. Default false. It's the "show me the whole family tree" flag. 🌳
  • -v, --verbose[=false] β€” show all information messages. Default false. She's chatty. She's thorough. She tells you everything. πŸ’¬
  • --version[=false] β€” print version number. Default false. Because sometimes you just gotta know what era you're in. ⭐
