NAME

pq2-ls – List the available datasets in a dataset meta-repository based on ROOT files

SYNOPSIS

pq2-ls [options] [datasets]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pq2-ls program.

pq2-ls is a script invoking the pq2 ROOT application to list the available datasets in a dataset meta-repository based on ROOT files; the repository can be accessed via the local file system or a remote file server daemon or a PROOF facility.

More details about the underlying ‘pq2’ application can be found in the man page pq2(1).

ARGUMENTS

datasets: The dataset or the datasets to be listed; the wildcards ‘*’ is supported. By default, all the datasets in the repository are listed.

OPTIONS

-h, –help: Display help information.
-k, –keep: Keep the temporary files created during the analysis under $TMPDIR
-v: Verbose mode
–forcescan: Force opening of the datasets are open to get the information; by default the pre-processed information is used, if any.
–noupdate: In the case a cache is used, do not update the cache (may be slow on some servers).
–refresh: Refresh the information (requires appropriate credentials; typically it can be done only for owned datasets).
-d <dataset>, –dataset=<dataset>: Alternative way to define the dataset or the datasets to be listed.
-u <serverurl>, –url=<serverurl>: URL of the PROOF master or data server providing the information; for data servers, it must include the directory. Can also be specified via the environment variables PQ2PROOFURL or PQ2DSSRVURL (see ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES)."
-t <dir>, –tmpdir=<dir>: Directory for temporary files; defualt is /tmp/<username>.

FORMAT OF THE OUTPUT

The information printed by pq2-ls has the following format:

/group/user/dsname                        | # files |  /<def-tree> | # evts   | size     | staged fraction

for example

Dataset URI                               | # Files | Default tree | # Events |   Disk   | Staged
/PWG2/akisiel/Therminator_c2030           |     952 | /esdTree     |      927 |     4 GB |   97 %

The space reserved for the default tree name is 14 characters: for longer names the last character is substituded with a ‘>’.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See setup-pq2(1).
