The following methods are available for most resources. Some resources may limit who can perform certain operations. Consult documentation for individual resource types for details.
-The methods are relative to the base URI, e.g. @/arvados/v1/resource_type@. For arguments specifying a *Location* of @path@, the value of the argument is incorporated into the path portion of the URI. For example, a @uuid@ of @aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccccccccccccc@ in a path position yields a URI of @/arvados/v1/resource_type/aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccccccccccccc@.

h2. delete
Default: all available attributes. As a special case, collections do not return "manifest_text" unless explicitly selected.|query|
|distinct|boolean|@true@: (default) do not return duplicate objects
@false@: permitted to return duplicates|query|
+|count|string|@"exact"@ (default): Include an @items_available@ response field giving the number of distinct matching items that can be retrieved (irrespective of @limit@ and @offset@ arguments).
+@"none"@: Omit the @items_available@ response field. This option will produce a faster response.|query|
-h3.(#filters) Available list method filters
+h3(#filters). Available list method filters
The value of the @filters@ parameter is an array of conditions. The @list@ method returns only the resources that satisfy all of the given conditions. In other words, the conjunction @AND@ is implicit.
