The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] ilm export ALIAS > STDOUT

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Syntax

Replace file.json with the name of the file to which to export the lifecycle management rules.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
