💅 WWCTL(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to WWCTL(1): the manual page for wwctl-overlay-delete. This is highkey the “delete stuff from a Warewulf overlay” command, and the vibe check is: proceed with care, because deletion is main character energy. 😭✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

wwctl-overlay-delete — Delete Warewulf Overlay or files

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wwctl overlay delete [OPTIONS] OVERLAY_NAME [FILE [FILE ...]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This command will delete FILEs within OVERLAY_NAME, or it will delete the entire OVERLAY_NAME if no files are listed. Use with caution!

🚨 Use with caution! This is literally the delete command, bestie. Not me being dramatic — it’s giving “please double-check before you slay.” 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f, --force[=false] — Force deletion of a non-empty overlay. Basically: “yes, I know it’s not empty, delete it anyway” energy. 💅
• -h, --help[=false] — Help for delete. Your little “wait, what does this do again?” button, bestie. 🫶
• -p, --parents[=false] — Remove empty parent directories. Cleanup crew behavior, fr fr. 🧹✨

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

• -d, --debug[=false] — Run with debugging messages enabled. For when you want the lore, lowkey. 🔍
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Run with increased verbosity. It’s giving “tell me everything,” and honestly? Same. 🗣️
• --warewulfconf="" — Set the warewulf configuration file. The flag is written as --warewulfconf="", so keep that empty-string energy exact, iykyk. 🎀
