  arg1 = [ force | yes ](optional)  # Use this parameter to bypass checks, i.e. for active or submitted tasks
  arg2 = yes(optional)              # Use 'yes' to bypass the confirmation prompt
  arg3 = node paths | _all_         # _all_ means delete all suites
                                    # node paths must start with a leading '/'
Usage:
  --delete=_all_                    # Delete all suites in server. Use with care.
  --delete=/suite/f1/t1             # Delete node at /suite/f1/t1. This will prompt
  --delete=force /suite/f1/t1       # Delete node at /suite/f1/t1 even if active or submitted
  --delete=force yes /s1 /s2        # Delete suites s1,s2 even if active or submitted, bypassing prompt

The client considers, for both user and child commands, the following environment variables:

  ECF_HOST <string> [mandatory*]
    The main server hostname; default value is 'localhost'
  ECF_PORT <int> [mandatory*]
    The main server port; default value is '3141'
  ECF_SSL <any> [optional*]
    Enable secure communication between client and server.
  ECF_HOSTFILE <string> [optional]
    File that lists alternate hosts to try, if connection to main host fails
  ECF_HOSTFILE_POLICY <string> [optional]
    The policy ('task' or 'all') to define which commands consider using alternate hosts.

The options marked with (*) must be specified in order for the client to communicate
with the server, either by setting the environment variables or by specifying the
command line options.
