# namespace
The `namespace` command groups subcommands for interacting with namespaces.
## Examples
List all namespaces:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace list
```
Create a namespace at the path `ns1/` with no custom metadata:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace create ns1/
```
Create a namespace at the path `ns1/` with multiple custom metadata keys:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace create -custom-metadata=foo=abc -custom-metadata=bar=123 ns1/
```
Patch an existing namespace at the path `ns1/` to add custom metadata key `bar` and remove key `foo`
```shell-session
$ vault namespace patch -custom-metadata=bar=123 -remove-custom-metadata=foo ns1/
```
Delete the namespace at path `ns1/`:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace delete ns1/
```
Lookup the namespace information at path `ns1/`:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace lookup ns1/
```
Lock the API for the current namespace:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace lock
```
Lock the API for a descendant namespace at path `current/namespace/ns1/`:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace lock ns1/
```
Unlock the API for the current namespace:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace unlock -unlock-key <unlock key>
```
Unlock the API for a descendant namespace at path `current/namespacens1/`:
```shell-session
$ vault namespace unlock -unlock-key <unlock key> ns1/
```
