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, 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]
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).
Example
arcls -l gsiftp://example.com/grid/file.dat
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.
