Name

lcg-del - delete files (SURLs or LFNs)

Synopsis

lcg-del [ -a ] [ --configconfig_file ] [ -h,--help ] [ --force ] [ -D,--defaultsetype defaulttype ] [ -T,--setypesetype ] [ -s,--se se ] [ --connect-timeout conntimeout ] [ --sendreceive-timeoutsndtimeout ] [ --bdii-timeout bdiitimeout ] [ --srm-timeout srmtimeout ] [ --vovirtual_organization ] [ -d,--dir ] [ -b,--nobdii ] [ -l,--nolfc ] [ -v,--verbose ] [ --version ] ( -f,--file localfile | gridfile [...] )

Description

lcg-del deletes files (either one replica or all replicas). If it was the last or only valid replica, the entries corresponding to this GUID are also removed from the RMC or the LFC. If you specify a given command line option multiple times, the command takes into account only the very last one so that in a script, you can override a particular option in a pre-set option set (like gcc does).

gridfile: specifies a Logical File Name, a Grid Unique IDentifier or a Site URL. An SURL scheme can be sfn: for a classical SE or srm:.
localfile: specifies a local file in which there is the list of SURLs.
se: Only the replica residing on se is deleted.
vo: specifies the Virtual Organization the user belongs to. If it is not specified, the environment variable LCG_GFAL_VO will be used.
force: This option forces exit code to be 0, even if one or more files failed.
conntimeout: Sets the connect timeout, used when connecting to a remote host. The connection will be aborted if the remote host doesn't reply after conntimeout seconds. Default: 60 seconds.
sndtimeout: Sets the send/receive data timeout, used when transferring data to/from a remote host. The connection will be aborted if no data is transfered after sndtimeout seconds. Default: 0 (blocking).
bdiitimeout: Sets the BDII timeout, used when searching information into BDII. The connection will be aborted if the search is longer than bdiitimeout seconds. Default: 60 seconds.
srmtimeout: Sets the SRM timeout, used when doing an asynchronous SRM request. The request will be aborted if it is still queued after srmtimeout seconds. Default: 3600 seconds (1 hour).
defaulttype: specifies the default SE type you want to use. Possible values are none, se, srmv1, srmv2, for respectively no default type, classic SE, SRMv1, and SRMv2. But if according to the BDII the default type is not available for this SE, it will use another type.
setype: specifies the SE type you want to use for the file. Possible values are none, se, srmv1, srmv2, for respectively no type, classic SE, SRMv1, and SRMv2. But if according to the BDII the default type is not available for this SE, it will fail.
conf_file: This argument is currently ignored.
-a: An attempt is made to delete all replicas for the file specified as a GUID or LFN. To remove only an alias of the replica, use lcg-ra instead.
-d,--dir: If this flag is present, it means that the user want to delete (empty) directory. Note that it is possible to delete only one directory at a time.
-b,--nobdii: If this flag is present, it means that you don't want to make BDII calls to get SE type. So, you must provide the type of the SE for srm: arguments, and full endpoint in SURLs. For SE type, defaulttype can be used.
-l,--nolfc: If this flag is present, it means that the SURL is not registered in any LFC server, and so you explicitely ask lcg-del to not connect to the LFC server.
-v,--verbose: Verbose mode. You can specify it twice for extra verbose mode.

Note

The environment variable LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS must point to the BDII, unless --nobdii option is used.

To use the RLS as catalog instead of the LFC, the environment variable LCG_CATALOG_TYPE must explicitely be set to "edg". By default, it is set to "lfc".

Example

    lcg-del --vo dteam \
        srm://lxshare0282.cern.ch//pnfs/cern.ch/data/dteam/testjpb16
    lcg-del --vo dteam -a lfn:/grid/dteam/tests/testjpb_rf10

Exit Status

This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or the number of files which failed.
