> MODULE cisco.sccfm.delete_network_object (sccfm-ansible/plugins/modules/delete_network_object.py)

  Delete a network object from your SCC Firewall Manager tenant.
  Objects can be deleted by either UID or name.

OPTIONS (= indicates it is required):

- api_token  API token for SCCFM.
        set_via:
          env:
          - name: SCCFM_API_TOKEN
        default: null
        no_log: true
        type: str

- name    Name of the network object to delete.
        default: null
        type: str

- region  SCCFM region (int, us, eu, apj, au, uae, in, or ci).
        set_via:
          env:
          - name: SCCFM_REGION
        default: null
        type: str

- uid     Unique identifier (UID) of the network object to delete.
        default: null
        type: str

NOTES:
      * Either `uid' or `name' must be provided, but not both.
      * When using `name', the module will search for the object
        and resolve it to a UID before deletion.
