MDATA-DELETE(1) Metadata Commands MDATA-DELETE(1) NAME mdata-delete -- Delete a metadata key-value pair. SYNOPSIS /usr/sbin/mdata-delete keyname DESCRIPTION The mdata-delete command allows the user (or a script) to modify the meta- data for a guest instance running in a SmartDataCenter (SDC) cloud. Meta- data values are generally set programmatically via CloudAPI, or during in- teractive provisioning via a Web Portal. They may also be set from within the instance with the mdata-put command. The key-value pair for keyname will be removed permanently from the meta- data stored for this guest instance. Deletion of a key which did not exist is not considered an error. If the metadata service is unavailable at the time of the request, this command will block waiting for it to become available. Non-transient fail- ures will cause the program to exit with a non-zero status. Depending on the nature of the error, some diagnostic output may be printed to stderr. EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. The key-value pair named keyname was removed from the instance meta- data, or did not initially exist. 2 An error occurred. An unexpected error condition occurred, which is believed to be a non- transient condition. Retrying the request is not expected to resolve the error condition; either a software bug or misconfiguration exists. 3 A usage error occurred. Malformed arguments were passed to the program. Check the usage in- structions to ensure valid arguments are supplied. SEE ALSO mdata-get(1), mdata-list(1), mdata-put(1) Joyent SmartDataCenter October 2013 MDATA-DELETE(1)
