ARGUMENTS

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       The  arcmkdir  command creates directories on grid storage elements and indexing services.  If the parent
       directory does not exist and -p is not specified, then arcmkdir will probably fail, but it depends on the
       protocol. The permissions on the new directory are the default of the server, or if the protocol requires
       them to be specified then the directory is only readable/writable/searchable by the user (the  equivalent
       of 700 on a file system).

       If  url starts from '@', the remaining argument is assumed to be a path to a local file containing a list
       of URLs, one per line.  In this case arcmkdir performs like it were called  multiple  times  -  once  for
       every URL.

       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.

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).
