mqttui-clean-retained - Clean retained messages from the broker

mqttui clean-retained [--timeout] [--dry-run] [-b|--broker] [-u|--username] [--password] [-i|--client-id] [--client-cert] [--client-key] [--insecure] [-h|--help] <TOPIC>

Clean retained messages from the broker.

This works by subscribing to the topic and waiting for messages with the retained flag. Then a message with an empty payload is published retained which clears the topic on the broker. Ends on the first non retained message or when the timeout is reached.

When there is no message received for the given time the operation is considered done
