NAME

       pmempool-rm - remove a persistent memory pool

SYNOPSIS

              $ pmempool rm [<options>] <file>..

DESCRIPTION

       The  pmempool rm command removes each specified file.  If the specified file is a pool set file, all pool
       files (single-file pool or part files) and remote replicas are removed.  By default the pmempool rm  does
       not  remove pool set files.  All local and remote pool files are removed using unlink(3) call, except the
       pools created on device dax which are zeroed instead.  If specified file does not exist, the remote  pool
       is  broken  or  not  accessible,  the  pmempool  rm command terminates with an error code.  By default it
       prompts before removing write-protected local files.  See REMOTE REPLICATION  section  for  more  details
       about support for remote pools.  See EXAMPLES section for example usage of the rm command.

   Available options:
       -h, --help

       Print help message

       -v, --verbose

       Be verbose and print all removing files.

       -s, --only-pools

       Remove only pool files and do not remove pool set files (default behaviour).

       -a, --all

       Remove all pool set files - local and remote.

       -l, --local

       Remove local pool set files.

       -r, --remote

       Remove remote pool set files.

       -f, --force

       Remove all specified files, ignore nonexistent files, never prompt.

       -i, --interactive

       Prompt before removing every single file or remote pool.

REMOTE REPLICATION

       A  remote  pool is removed using rpmem_remove(3) function if librpmem(7) library is available.  If a pool
       set file contains remote replication but librpmem(7) is not available, the pmempool rm command terminates
       with an error code, unless the -f, –force option is specified.

EXAMPLE

              $ pmempool rm pool.obj pool.blk

       Remove specified pool files.

              $ pmempool rm pool.set

       Remove all pool files from the “pool.set”, do not remove pool.set itself.

              $ pmempool rm -a pool.set

       Remove all pool files from the “pool.set”, remove the local pool set file and all remote pool set files.
