See the [ACL policy][] 24 documentation for details. 25 26 ## General Options 27 28 @include 'general_options.mdx' 29 30 ## Command Options 31 32 - `-check-index` `(int: <unset>)`: If set, the variable is only acted upon if 33 the server-side version's index matches the provided value. When a variable 34 specification contains a modify index, that modify index is used as the 35 check-index for the check-and-set operation and can be overridden using this 36 flag. 37 38 ## Examples 39 40 Purge the variable at the "secret/creds" path. 41 42 ```shell-session 43 $ nomad var purge -y secret/creds 44 Successfully purged variable "secret/creds"! 45 ``` 46 47 [variable]: /docs/concepts/variables 48 [ACL Policy]: /docs/other-specifications/acl-policy#variables
