ginfo¶

ginfo is a client tool for GLUE 2.0. It queries information from the BDII and lists the attributes corresponding to an object. By default, all the attributes of an object are displayed.

ginfo is available in EPEL 5 and EPEL 6 repositories.

Usage¶

ginfo   [options]   Object   [attribute_to_filter='value of the attribute']   [attribute_to_display]

Only the object is mandatory.

Options:¶

-H,   --host  host        Specify a host to query. By default the environmental variable LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS will be used.
-b,   --bind  binding     Specify the binding (o=glue by default).
-l,   --list  attribute   List all the possible values of the specified attribute.
-c,   --csv               Output in CSV format
-j,   --json              Output in JSON format
-t,   --timeout           Change the ldap timeout (15 seconds by default).
-v,   --verbose           Enable verbose mode
-V,   --version           Print the version of ginfo
-h     --help             Print this helpful message

Examples¶

List all information for all Endpoint attributes:
```
ginfo --host bdii.example.com Endpoint
```
Use the host from the LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS environment variable and list all Location countries:

export LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS=bdii.example.com:2170
ginfo Location country

List all the Service types:

ginfo -l Type Service

List all IDs from Endpoint which have ‘org.glite.FileTransfer’ as name of Interface:

ginfo Endpoint InterfaceName=org.glite.FileTransfer ID

Show the version too:

ginfo Endpoint  InterfaceName=org.glite.FileTransfer  ID  InterfaceVersion

Show all available information about these Endpoints:

ginfo Endpoint InterfaceName=org.glite.FileTransfer

Export to CSV:

ginfo --csv Endpoint InterfaceName=org.glite.FileTransfer
