NAME
       nvme-exclusion-delete - Delete an NVMe-oF exclusion list

SYNOPSIS
       nvme [<global-options>] exclusion delete [--name=<NAME> | -N <NAME>]

DESCRIPTION
       Delete the NVMe-oF exclusion list named <NAME> in its entirety,
       removing /etc/nvme/exclusions.conf.d/<NAME>.conf and every entry it
       contains. To drop a single entry instead, use nvme exclusion remove.

       This command requires root.

OPTIONS
       -N <NAME>, --name=<NAME>
           Name of the exclusion list to delete. Omit to delete the default
           list (/etc/nvme/exclusions.conf).

GLOBAL OPTIONS
       The following options are defined at the top-level nvme command and are
       available to this subcommand:

       --dry-run
           Print the command that would be executed, but do not actually
           execute it.

       --no-ioctl-probing
           Disable probing for 64-bit IOCTL support.

       --no-retries
           Disable retry logic on transient errors.

       -o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt>
           Set the reporting format to normal, tabular, 'json, or binary. Only
           one output format may be used at a time.

       --output-format-version=<version>
           Select the output format version. Version 1 uses the original field
           naming, while version 2 (default) provides more consistent and
           script-friendly field names.

       --timeout=<ms>
           Set the timeout for the command in milliseconds.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase the level of detail in the output. May be specified
           multiple times to further increase verbosity.

       These options can also be set as machine-wide defaults in
       nvme-cli.conf(5). A command-line flag always overrides the file.

EXAMPLES
       o   Remove the maintenance list once the work is done:

               # nvme exclusion delete --name maintenance
