Examples

List Bucket Lifecycle Management Rules

Use mc ilm rule ls to list a bucket’s lifecycle management rules:

mc ilm rule ls ALIAS/PATH
  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of the S3-compatible host.

  • Replace PATH with the path to the bucket on the S3-compatible host.

Show Policy Modification Time

Use mc ilm rule ls with --json to show the time the policy for a bucket was last updated.

mc ilm rule ls ALIAS/PATH --json
  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of the S3-compatible host.

  • Replace PATH with the path to the bucket on the S3-compatible host.

The updateAt property in the JSON output contains the date and time the policy was updated.

The output resembles the following:

{
 "status": "success",
 "target": "myminio/mybucket",
 "config": {
  "Rules": [
   {
    "Expiration": {
     "Days": 30
    },
    "ID": "ci1o2mg0sko6f1r3krv0",
    "Status": "Enabled"
   }
  ]
 },
 "updatedAt": "2023-06-09T19:45:30Z"

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.
