glite-meta-getattr — Get/List attributes for entry

Synopsis

glite-meta-getattr [ -h ] [ -q ] [ -s SERVICE ] [ -V ] [ -v ] { -n NAME ...} ITEM...

DESCRIPTION

glite-meta-getattr is a command-line tool for listing attributes of entries in the metadata catalog. By default, all existing attributes are listed. If you want to restrict the output to a set of specific attributes, use the -n option. The output contains the following:

  • A line stating with # ITEM: followed by the item whose attributes are being listed.

  • For every attribute the file has, a line in the form (TYPE)NAME=VALUE or NAME=VALUE if the type of the attribute is not known (or not specified).

  • A blank line separating output for different ITEMs if more than one was specified on the command line.

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 NAME

List only attributes named NAME.

ITEM

Name of the item to list attributes of.
