- the directory to create
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.
- ~/.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.
- 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).
