datalad export-archive - export the content of a dataset as
a TAR/ZIP archive.
datalad export-archive [-h] [-d DATASET]
[-t {tar|zip}] [-c {gz|bz2|}]
[--missing-content {error|continue|ignore}] [PATH]
- PATH
- File name of the generated TAR archive. If no file name is given the
archive will be generated in the current directory and will be named:
datalad_<dataset_uuid>.(tar.*|zip). To generate that file in a
different directory, provide an existing directory as the file name.
Constraints: value must be a string
- -h, --help,
--help-np
- show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager
for displaying the help message
- -d DATASET,
--dataset DATASET
- "specify the dataset to export. If no dataset is given, an attempt is
made to identify the dataset based on the current working directory.
Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset
(e.g. a path)
- -t {tar|zip},
--archivetype {tar|zip}
- Type of archive to generate. Constraints: value must be one of ('tar',
'zip') [Default: 'tar']
- -c {gz|bz2|},
--compression {gz|bz2|}
- Compression method to use. 'bz2' is not supported for ZIP archives. No
compression is used when an empty string is given. Constraints: value must
be one of ('gz', 'bz2', '') [Default: 'gz']
- --missing-content
{error|continue|ignore}
- By default, any discovered file with missing content will result in an
error and the export is aborted. Setting this to 'continue' will issue
warnings instead of failing on error. The value 'ignore' will only inform
about problem at the 'debug' log level. The latter two can be helpful when
generating a TAR archive from a dataset where some file content is not
available locally. Constraints: value must be one of ('error', 'continue',
'ignore') [Default: 'error']
