## DELETE

## BULK DELETE
__knife role bulk delete REGEX__ _(options)_

## DESCRIPTION
Roles provide a mechanism to group repeated configuration settings.
Roles are data structures that contain __default\_attributes__, and
__override_attributes__, which are nested hashes of configuration
settings, and a __run_list__, which is an ordered list of recipes and
roles that should be applied to a host by chef-client.
__default_attributes__ will be overridden if they conflict with a value
on a node that includes the role. Conversely, __override_attributes__
will override any values set on nodes that apply them.
When __chef-client__(8) configures a host, it will "expand" the
__run_list__ included in that host's node data. The expansion process
will recursively replace any roles in the run\_list with that role's
run\_list.
