Allow removing volumes with a volume name pattern

[govint]

Description

Steps to reproduce the issue:
Once I create a bunch of volumes the docker volume rm command requires specifying the volume name(s) to remove these. Can a pattern be allowed so all volumes that match the pattern are removed by the volume provider (plugin).

This is a feature request to allow patterns to match volume names when removing a set of volumes. Presently dockz

Hello @govint thanks for your request.

I understand your use case but I am not sure if it really needs to be covered with a new feature.
The docker CLI is very powerful.
Let's suppose that you have this volumes

docker volume create ccc-hello
docker volume create ccc-ciao
docker volume create ccc-bye

you can filter them by name:

docker volume ls --filter name=ccc

And in the end remove them all together:

docker volume rm $(docker volume ls --filter name=ccc -q)

+1 to what @gianarb Said, I do not think we should support pattern matching in rm.

Agree , I'll close this one.
