stat [command-options] [container]
[object]
Displays information for the account, container, or
object depending on the args given (if any). In verbose mode, the Storage URL
and the authentication token are displayed as well. Option --lh reports sizes
in human readable format similar to ls -lh.
list [command-options] [container]
Lists the containers for the account or the objects for a
container. The -p <prefix> or --prefix <prefix> is an option that
will only list items beginning with that prefix. The -d <delim> or
--delimiter <delim> is option (for container listings only) that will
roll up items with the given delimiter (see OpenStack Swift general
documentation for what this means).
The -l or --long and --lh options provide more detail, similar to
ls -l and ls -lh, the latter providing sizes in human readable format (eg
3K, 12M, etc). These latter 2 switches use more overhead to get those
details, which is directly proportional to the number of container or
objects being listed. With the -t or --total option they only report
totals.
upload [command-options] container file_or_directory
[file_or_directory] [...]
Uploads to the given container the files and directories
specified by the remaining args. The -c or --changed is an option that will
only upload files that have changed since the last upload. The --object-name
<object-name> is an option that will upload file and name object to
<object-name> or upload dir and use <object-name> as object
prefix. If the file name is "-", reads the content from standard
input. In this case, --object-name is required and no other files may be
given. The -S <size> or --segment-size <size> and --leave-segments
and others are options as well (see swift upload --help for more).
post [command-options] [container]
[object]
Updates meta information for the account, container, or
object depending on the args given. If the container is not found, it will be
created automatically; but this is not true for accounts and objects.
Containers also allow the -r (or --read-acl) and -w (or --write-acl) options.
The -m or --meta option is allowed on all and used to define the user meta
data items to set in the form Name:Value. This option can be repeated. For
more details and options see swift post --help. Example: post -m
Color:Blue -m Size:Large
copy [command-options] container
object
Copies an object to a new destination or adds user
metadata to the object (current user metadata will be preserved, in contrast
with the post command) depending on the args given. The --destination option
sets the destination in the form /container/object. If not set, the object
will be copied onto itself which is useful for adding metadata. The -M or
--fresh-metadata option copies the object without the existing user metadata.
The -m or --meta option is always allowed and is used to define the user
metadata items to set in the form Name:Value (this option can be repeated).
For more details and options see swift copy --help.
download [command-options] [container]
[object] [object] [...]
Downloads everything in the account (with --all), or
everything in a container, or a list of objects depending on the args given.
For a single object download, you may use the -o [--output] <filename>
option to redirect the output to a specific file or if "-" then just
redirect to stdout or with --no-download actually not to write anything to
disk. The --ignore-checksum is an option that turns off checksum validation.
You can specify optional headers with the repeatable cURL-like option -H
[--header]. For more details and options see swift download --help. The
--ignore-mtime option ignores the x-object-meta-mtime metadata entry on the
object (if present) and instead creates the downloaded files with fresh atime
and mtime values.
delete [command-options] [container]
[object] [object] [...]
Deletes everything in the account (with --all), or
everything in a container, or all objects in a container that start with a
given string (given by --prefix), or a list of objects depending on the args
given. Segments of manifest objects will be deleted as well, unless you
specify the --leave-segments option. For more details and options see swift
delete --help.
capabilities [command-options]
[proxy-url]
Displays cluster capabilities. If the proxy-url option is
not provided the storage-url retrieved after authentication is used as
proxy-url.
By default, the output includes the list of the activated Swift
middlewares as well as relevant options for each one. Additionally the
command displays relevant options for the Swift core.
The --json option will print a json representation of the cluster
capabilities. This is typically more suitable for consumption by other
programs, such as jq.
Example: capabilities https://swift.example.com
capabilities --json
tempurl [command-option] method time
path key
Generates a temporary URL allowing unauthenticated access
to the Swift object at the given path, using the given HTTP method, for the
given time, using the given TempURL key.
The time can be specified either as an integer denoting the amount
of seconds the temporary URL is valid, or as an ISO 8601 timestamp in one of
following formats: Complete date: YYYY-MM-DD (eg 1997-07-16), complete date
plus hours, minutes and seconds: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss (eg
1997-07-16T19:20:30) or complete date plus hours, minutes and seconds with
UTC designator: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30Z). Be aware
that if you do not use the latter format, the timestamp is generated using
your locale timezone. If the first format is used, the time part used will
equal to 00:00:00.
With the --prefix-based option a prefix-based URL is
generated.
The option --iso8601 provides ISO 8601 UTC timestamps instead of
Unix timestamps inside the generated URL.
If optional --absolute argument is provided and the time argument
is specified in seconds, the seconds are interpreted as a Unix timestamp at
which the URL should expire.
Example: tempurl GET $(date -d "Jan 1 2016" +%s)
/v1/AUTH_foo/bar_container/quux.md my_secret_tempurl_key --absolute
auth
Display auth related authentication variables in shell
friendly format. For examples see swift auth --help.
