NAME

AFS::Command::FS - OO API to the AFS fs command

SYNOPSIS

my $fs = AFS::Command::FS->new();
my $fs = AFS::Command::FS->new
(
command => $path_to_your_fs_binary,
);

DESCRIPTION

This module implements an OO API wrapper around the AFS 'fs' command. The supported methods depend on the version of the fs binary used, and are determined automagically.

METHODS -- Inherited

All of the following methods are inherited from the AFS::Command::Base class. See that documentation for details.

METHODS (with complex return values)

NOTE: Error checking for commands that accept a list of paths

A number of these methods accept a list of paths, and will return information for each path, individually. If you specify a non-existent path, or one which is not in AFS, then the fs command returns a non-zero exist status, which normally would mean the command failed.

If you specify a list of paths to this API, and one or more of them result in errors, the API call is still considered to succeed, as long as we can determine the error for each path specified. The API will still return an AFS::Object::CacheManager object, which contains a set of AFS::Object::Path object, for each path specified in the arguments, as long as we saw some kind of output from the fs commands for each path.

Each AFS::Object::Path object must be examined to determine the success of failure for that individual path. When errors were encountered for any given path, then the objects will have an "error" attribute, and nothing else (no other data attributes, except the path itself).

This holds true for the following API methods: diskfree, examine, listquota, quota, storebehind, whereis, whichcell, and listacl.

checkservers

The fs help string is:

fs checkservers: check local cell's servers
Usage: fs checkservers [-cell <cell to check>] [-all] [-fast]

);

NOTE: The values passed to the 'acl' argument has to be constructed with care. Unlike many of the other arguments, this has to be a seen by the 'fs' command as an even number of additional command line arguments immediately after the -acl flag.

If you construct a single string, such as "user read group write", then the method will fail. There is no shell involved in exec'ing fs, so there will be no splitting of this string on whitespace before we construct the arguments to fs, so it will look like a single argument, not four distinct arguments.

Therefore, there are two ways to construct an ACL to pass to setacl():

my @acl = ( $user, 'read', $group, 'write' );
my $result = $fs->setacl
(
dir => $dir,
acl => \@acl,
);
my %acl =
(
$user => 'read',
$group => 'write',
);
my $result = $fs->setacl
(
dir => $dir,
acl => \%acl,
);

In a future release of the API, maybe even 1.1, it will be possible to pass AFS::Object::ACL objects as arguments to these API calls, but not yet...
