NAME

       s3qlrm - Fast tree removal on S3QL file systems

SYNOPSIS

          s3qlrm [options] <directory>

DESCRIPTION

       S3QL  is  a  file  system  for  online  data  storage.  Before  using S3QL, make sure to consult the full
       documentation (rather than just the man  pages  which  only  briefly  document  the  available  userspace
       commands).

       The  s3qlrm  command recursively deletes files and directories on an S3QL file system. Although s3qlrm is
       faster than using e.g.  rm -r`, the main reason for its  existence  is  that  it  allows  you  to  delete
       immutable trees (which can be created with s3qllock) as well.

       Be  warned  that  there  is  no  additional  confirmation.  The  directory  will  be removed entirely and
       immediately.

       s3qlrm can only be called by the user that mounted the file system and (if the file  system  was  mounted
       with  --allow-other  or  --allow-root) the root user. This limitation might be removed in the future (see
       issue 155).

OPTIONS

       The s3qlrm command accepts the following options:

          --debug
                 activate debugging output

          --quiet
                 be really quiet

          --version
                 just print program version and exit

EXIT STATUS

       s3qlrm returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some error occurred.

SEE ALSO

       The S3QL homepage is at http://code.google.com/p/s3ql/.

       The full S3QL documentation should also be installed somewhere  on  your  system,  common  locations  are
       /usr/share/doc/s3ql or /usr/local/doc/s3ql.
