+<h1> The s6-instance-delete program </h1>
+
+<p>
+s6-instance-delete deletes an existing instance of a currently supervised
+<a href="instances.html">instanced service</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+     s6-instance-delete [ -X ] [ -t <em>timeout</em> ] <em>servicedir</em> <em>name</em>
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-instance-delete expects a running, supervised
+<a href="instances.html">instanced service</a> in <em>servicedir</em>,
+as well as an existing instance of this service named <em>name</em>
+(it doesn't matter if the instance is up or down). </li>
+ <li> It deletes the <em>name</em> instance. </li>
+ <li> It exits 0. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Exit codes </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> 0: success </li>
+ <li> 100: wrong usage </li>
+ <li> 111: system call failed </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Options </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <tt>-X</tt>&nbsp;: don't wait. s6-instance-delete will exit right away,
+without waiting for the instance (and its supervisor) to properly disappear. </li>
+ <li> <tt>-t&nbsp;<em>timeout</em></tt>&nbsp;: if the instance supervisor has not exited
+after <em>timeout</em> milliseconds, s6-instance-delete will still exit.
+By default, <em>timeout</em> is 0, which means no time limit. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Notes </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-instance-delete is similar to
+<a href="s6-svunlink.html">s6-svunlink</a>, because it uses the same underlying
+library functions. Under the hood, an instance is a regular service running
+on a supervision tree that is specific to the instanced service, and
+s6-instance-delete removes a service directory from that tree. </li>
+ <li> If the template for the service is logged, then s6-instance-delete will
+delete both the instance and its logger. </li>
+</ul>
