📦 version 0.7.0.0, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 S6-RC-SET-DELETE — deleting a whole set from a repository (yes, the entire vibe)

okay so bestie, this is the s6-rc-set-delete page from the System Manager's Manual — section 8, administrative commands, iykyk 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

s6-rc-set-delete — deletes a whole set from a repository. one set per argument, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s6-rc-set-delete [-v verbosity] [-r repo] setname...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, for every single argument in setname..., s6-rc-set-delete deletes that set from the repository. That's it. That's the whole job. Slay, honestly 👑

And then it exits 0. Iconic behaviour, no notes 💖

🎀 Notes 🎀

  • Lowkey important: an error in one of the arguments (say, if the user specifies a set that doesn't even exist, awkward 🙈) will prevent processing the rest of the command line. So if you're doing multiple deletions, the user should double-check the set names first. Like, fr fr, check them. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v verbosity, --verbosity=verbosity — be more or less verbose. The default is 1, which means error messages and warnings get written to stderr. A value of 0 means only error messages get written, and 2 or more adds informational messages. so 0 = quiet queen, 1 = default, 2+ = chatty bestie 🗣️✨
  • -r repo, --repository=repo — use the repository in repo, which must exist (like, it's not optional, bestie 😭). Default is /var/lib/s6-rc/repository. 🍓

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • 0 — Success. we ate. 💖
  • 100 — Incorrect usage. the way you used it was not it 💀
  • 111 — System call failed. the system said no 🙈
