NAME

       arcls - list files or directories

DESCRIPTION

       The arcls command is used for listing files in grid storage elements and file index catalogues.

SYNOPSIS

       arcls [options] url

OPTIONS

       -l, --long
              long  format  (like  ls  -l).  The  name  of the object is followed by these elements: filetype of
              object, size in bytes, modification time, checksum and access latency (ONLINE  or  NEARLINE).  The
              elements for which information is available is protocol-dependent.

       -L, --locations
              show URLs of file locations (replicas) registered in index services.

       -m, --metadata
              list all available metadata.

       -r, --recursive
              operate recursively

       -D, --depth=level
              operate recursively up to specified level

       -n, --nolist
              show only description of requested object, do not list content of directories (like ls -d).

       -f, --forcelist
              treat requested object as directory and always try to list content

       -c, --checkaccess
              check readability of object. Retrieving and showing information about object is suppressed.

       -P, --listplugins
              list the available plugins (protocols supported)

       -t, --timeout=seconds
              timeout in seconds (default 20)

       -z, --conffile=filename
              configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)

       -d, --debug=debuglevel
              FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG

       -v, --version
              print version information

       -?, --help
              print help

ARGUMENTS

       url    the location to list

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]

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.

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).
