NAME

   s3rm - Delete Amazon AWS S3 items

SYNOPSIS

   s3rm [options] [bucket/item ...]

    Options:
      --access-key    AWS Access Key ID
      --secret-key    AWS Secret Access Key
    Environment:
      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET

OPTIONS

   --help  Print a brief help message and exits.

   --man   Prints the manual page and exits.

   --verbose
           Print a message for each created bucket.

   --access-key and --secret-key
           Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account.
           --access-key is the "Access Key ID", and --secret-key is the
           "Secret Access Key".  These are effectively the "username" and
           "password" to the AWS account, and should be kept confidential.

           The access keys MUST be specified, either via these command
           line parameters, or via the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and
           AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables.

           Specifying them on the command line overrides the environment
           variables.

   --secure
           Uses SSL/TLS HTTPS to communicate with the AWS service, instead
           of HTTP.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
           Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account.
           AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID contains the "Access Key ID", and
           AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET contains the "Secret Access Key".  These
           are effectively the "username" and "password" to the AWS
           service, and should be kept confidential.

           The access keys MUST be specified, either via these environment
           variables, or via the --access-key and --secret-key command
           line parameters.

           If the command line parameters are set, they override these
           environment variables.

CONFIGURATION FILE

   The configuration options will be read from the file "~/.s3-tools" if
   it exists.  The format is the same as the command line options with one
   option per line.  For example, the file could contain:

       --access-key <AWS access key>
       --secret-key <AWS secret key>
       --secure

   This example configuration file would specify the AWS access keys and
   that a secure connection using HTTPS should be used for all
   communications.

DESCRIPTION

   Delete items in the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).

BUGS

   Report bugs to Mark Atwood mark@fallenpegasus.com.

   Occasionally the S3 service will randomly fail for no externally
   apparent reason.  When that happens, this tool should retry, with a
   delay and a backoff.

   Access to the S3 service can be authenticated with a X.509 certificate,
   instead of via the "AWS Access Key Identifiers".  This tool should
   support that.

   It might be useful to be able to specify the "AWS Access Key
   Identifiers" in the user's "~/.netrc" file.  This tool should support
   that.

   Some errors and warnings are very "Perl-ish", and can be confusing.
