arcls - list files or directories
The arcls command is used for listing files in grid storage
elements and file index catalogues.
- -l, --long
- long format (like ls -l). The name of the object is followed by these
elements: filetype of object, size in bytes, modification time, checksum
and access latency (ONLINE or NEARLINE). The elements for which
information is available is protocol-dependent.
- -L,
--locations
- show URLs of file locations (replicas) registered in index services.
- -m,
--metadata
- list all available metadata.
- -r,
--recursive
- operate recursively
- -D,
--depth=level
- operate recursively up to specified level
- -n, --nolist
- show only description of requested object, do not list content of
directories (like ls -d).
- -f,
--forcelist
- treat requested object as directory and always try to list content
- -c,
--checkaccess
- check readability of object. Retrieving and showing information about
object is suppressed.
- -P,
--listplugins
- list the available plugins (protocols supported)
- -t,
--timeout=seconds
- timeout in seconds (default 20)
- -z,
--conffile=filename
- configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)
- -d,
--debug=debuglevel
- FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG
- -v, --version
- print version information
- -?, --help
- print help
The arcls command lists files and directories on grid
storage elements and in file index catalogues. Depending on the installed
libraries (check with -P ), the following protocols may be used: file
(file:// prefix may be omitted), http, https, httpg, ftp, gsiftp, srm,
root.
In the case of a directory/fileset, attributes of objects
belonging to it will be retrieved, unless --nolist is specified.
If url starts from '@', the remainder should be a path to a local
file containing list of URLs, one per line. Then arcls acts as if it was
called multiple times, once for each URL. For more information on ARC URL
syntax please read "Protocols, Uniform Resource Locators (URL) and
Extensions Supported in ARC" [NORDUGRID-TECH-7]
- ~/.arc/client.conf
- Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC
client configuration file. By using the --conffile option a
different configuration file can be used than the default.
- X509_USER_PROXY
- The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set unless the
proxy is in a non-standard location.
- ARC_LOCATION
- The location where ARC is installed can be specified by this variable. If
not specified the install location will be determined from the path to the
command being executed, and if this fails a WARNING will be given stating
the location which will be used.
- ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
- The location of ARC plugins can be specified by this variable. Multiple
locations can be specified by separating them by : (; in Windows). The
default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in Windows).
