glite-catalog-find — Locate files that match a pattern

Synopsis

glite-catalog-find [ -h ] [ -q ] [ -s SERVICE ] [ -V ] [ -v ] [ -n LIMIT ] PATTERN DIR...

DESCRIPTION

glite-catalog-find is a command-line tool for locating files matching a specified pattern in directory hierarchies.

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.

-n LIMIT

Return no more than LIMIT results. The default is 100.

PATTERN

File name pattern to look for. Recognized wildcards are ? matching any character, and * matching any string. Note that neither matches the directory separator (/). Directory components in the pattern are not allowed.

DIR

Name of the directories where to look for files matching PATTERN.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

GLITE_SD_SEINDEX_TYPE
