**Example 1: To deprecate a thing type**

The following ``deprecate-thing-type`` example deprecates a thing type so that users can't associate any new things with it. ::

        --thing-type-name "obsoleteThingType"

This command produces no output.

**Example 2: To reverse the deprecation of a thing type**

        --thing-type-name "obsoleteThingType" \
        --undo-deprecate

This command produces no output.
