DESCRIPTION

glite-catalog-mkdir is a command-line tool for creating directories (and optionally all their parent directories that do not exist) in the catalog.

OPTIONS

-h

Print a short help message on parameters and usage, and exit.

-q

Quiet operation.

-s SERVICE

Specifies the service endpoint to use. If SERVICE starts with http://, https:// or httpg://, then it is taken as a direct service endpoint URL. Otherwise SERVICE is taken as a service instance name and Service Discovery is invoked to look up the endpoint.

If this option is not specified, Service Discovery will be invoked and the first available catalog will be used. If the Service Discovery fails, the program will exit with an error.

Note

If this option is not specified, only services with a known good status will be returned by Service Discovery. However if you explicitely specify a service name or an endpoint, the tool will try to use it regardless of its registered status.

Note

If you specify an HTTP URL with an empty host name, the tool will dump the SOAP requests to the standard output and will read the SOAP reply from stdin.

-v

Increases the verbosity level.

-V

Print the version number and exit.

-p

Create missing parent directories. If this option is not given a missing parent directory will cause the command to fail.

-c

Copy the permissions of the parent directory when creating a new directory.

DIR

Names of the directories to create. Only LFN URIs are allowed; wildcard expansion is supported.

-f FILENAME

Read directory names to create from file FILENAME. Only LFN URIs are allowed; wildcard expansion is supported.
