NAME

egrid-print-dirhier - Output directory tree for egrid-copy-dirhier to read.

SYNOPSIS

egrid-print-dirhier [OPTIONS] DIR [DIR ...]

Outputs the directory trees whose roots are the supplied DIRs, in the format required by egrid-copy-dirhier for input.

Options:

-u, --update-cache

Update output cache even if it has not yet expired. This option is mutually exclusive with --cache-time.

-t, --cache-time SECONDS

If there is a cache file for DIR, output its contents instead of scanning the whole directory tree again. This is the default behaviour, with a cache time of 600 seconds. This option is mutually exclusive with --update-cache.

-d, --cache-dir DIR

Use DIR as a repository for output cache files. Defaults to /opt/egrid/var/cache/egrid-print-dirhier.

-s, --syslog FACILITY[:PRIORITY]

Log messages to syslog facility FACILITY (default: 'daemon'); if the optional PRIORITY is appended, then do not log messages whose priority is less than PRIORITY (default: 'notice').

-A, --args-from FILE

Read additional command-line arguments from FILE as if they were typed on the command-line.

--help

Print help text and exit

-V, --version

Print version number and exit

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple wrapper: for each directory DIR named on the command line, invokes find ... -type d -printf '%u:%g:%m:%p'. It also caches the output of this find command for 600 seconds (or the amount specified via the --cache-time option) for performance reasons, unless the --update-cache option is given.

BUGS

Looks for the standard commands find and cat in the system PATH; be especially careful when executing this program as root!

There is currently no way to pass options to 'find'.

The --verbose option does not yet report very much information.
