💅 s6-fdholder-delete(8) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the s6-fdholder-delete(8) page from the System Manager's Manual, and it's giving “tiny utility, very specific job” energy. honestly? we love a focused icon. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

s6-fdholder-delete — connect to an s6-fdholderd(8) daemon listening on a Unix domain socket, and delete a file descriptor from the daemon storage. periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s6-fdholder-delete [-t timeout] path id

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

s6-fdholder-delete connects to an s6-fdholderd(8) server process listening on path. 🦋

It tells the server to close the file descriptor that has been stored with identifier id. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -t timeout — If the operation cannot be processed in timeout milliseconds, then fail with an error message. Communications with the server should be near-instant, so this option is only here to protect users against programming errors (connecting to the wrong socket, for instance). 🛡️

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

• 0 — Success. 💖
• 1 — The server denied the operation. The meanings of the error messages are explained in s6-fdholder-error-codes(7). 😭
• 100 — Wrong usage. 🙈
• 111 — System call failed — this includes attempting to connect to a nonexistent socket, or one where no s6-fdholderd(8) daemon is listening. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

s6-fdholder-delete /service/fdholderd/s MYSOCKET

will tell an s6-fdholderd(8) daemon listening on the /service/fdholderd/s socket to close the file descriptor identified as ‘MYSOCKET’. 💖
