mrmdir(1)

okay so bestie, welcome to the mrmdir(1) page from Manta Commands 🫶✨ this is your group-chat cheat sheet for removing empty directories, and yes we're keeping every flag because details are the moment. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

mrmdir — remove empty directories. that's it, that's the name, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, the shape of the command is:

mrmdir [OPTION...] DIRECTORY...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

mrmdir removes each specified directory, if they are empty. so you point it at DIRECTORY..., and it does its thing only when the directories are empty — if a directory is not empty, this is not the tool for that, bestie. periodt. 🫶

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

this iconic little example:

$ mrmdir ~~/stor/tmp

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -a, --account login — authenticate as account (login name). 💖
• -h, --help — print a help message and exit. easy.
• -i, --insecure — this option explicitly allows "insecure" SSL connections and transfers. All SSL connections are attempted to be made secure by using the CA certificate bundle installed by default. 😬
• -I, --interactive — confirm before deleting directories. yes, it asks first, we love a cautious queen 🫶
• -k, --key fingerprint — authenticate using the SSH key described by FINGERPRINT. the key must either be in ~/.ssh or loaded in the SSH agent via ssh-add. 🔑
• --role=ROLE,ROLE,... — specify which roles to assume for the request. 👑
• --user user — authenticate as user under account. 🌈
• -u, --url url — Manta base URL (such as https://us-central.manta.mnx.io). 🔥
• -v, --verbose — print debug output to stderr. repeat the option to increase verbosity. 🗣️

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

• MANTA_USER — in place of -a, --account.
• MANTA_SUBUSER — in place of --user.
• MANTA_KEY_ID — in place of -k, --key.
• MANTA_ROLE — in place of --role.
• MANTA_URL — in place of -u, --url.
• MANTA_TLS_INSECURE — in place of -i, --insecure.

the shortcut ~~ is equivalent to /:login where :login is the account login name. iykyk 🧚

👑 DIAGNOSTICS 👑

when using the -v option, diagnostics will be sent to stderr in bunyan output format. as an example of tracing all information about a request, try:

$ mrmdir -vv ~~/stor/foo 2>&1 | bunyan

💀 BUGS 💀

DSA keys do not work when loaded via the SSH agent. ngl that's the bug note, not me being dramatic 😭
