Applications
The release contains a full xrootd releases and a few other tools. The applications of interest are:
name |
Description |
|---|---|
transfer files from and to xrootd |
|
xrdls |
list directory on all the xrootd servers |
run a program under the xrootd preload library (useful for reading fits files) |
|
xrd.pl |
cammand line tool to issuse commands to xrootd like, stat a file, checksum a file,... |
One think to notice about all the applications is that they are links to a wrapper script. The wrapper script sets the proper environment so that the xrootd authorization libs are found and then runs the proper executable.
