Behavior
S3 compatibility
The mc command-line tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO AIStor and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.
MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported.
While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
