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
Examples> xrdcmd -s glast-rdr stat /glast/wilko/f1

Xrootd does not provide the directory listing (ls) semantics as a file system does. The xrdls is a command line tool that looks a little bit like an ls. By defaults it loops over all xrootd data servers and obtains a directory listing for each of them.
xrdls \[-_l_\] \[_dataserver_\] directory * \-_l_ prints a long listing * specify _dataserver_ if the listing from only this server is requested. Default is to loop over all servers
It is implemented by using the standard unix ls command together with the xrootd preload library.
Below are some examples
