NAME
arcls - list files or directories
DESCRIPTION
The arcls command is used for listing files in grid storage elements and file index catalogues.
SYNOPSIS
arcls [options] url
OPTIONS
-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, validity 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 supressed. -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
ARGUMENTS
url the location to list
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
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, lfc, 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]
FILES
~/.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.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
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).
