# Mode for removing a block export.
#
# @safe: Remove export if there are no existing connections, fail otherwise.
#
# @hard: Drop all connections immediately and remove export.
#
# Potential additional modes to be added in the future:
#
# hide: Just hide export from new clients, leave existing connections as is.
# Remove export after all clients are disconnected.
#
# soft: Hide export from new clients, answer with ESHUTDOWN for all further
# requests from existing clients.
