The client admin tools allow a user to do some file/directory operations in Xrootd: stat, rm, mkdir, checksum,.....
There are different tools:
xrdcmd is wrapped around xrd.pl. It sets up the environment (LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PERL5LIB), If this environment is set by other means one could call xrd.pl instead of xrdcmd.
xrdcmd implements currently only a subset of all client admin tools. The location of the script is:
~glastdat/bin/xrdcmd
To get more information run : ~glastdat/bin/xrdcmd -h
