EXAMPLE

69                $ singularity inspect ubuntu.sif
70
71                If you want to list the applications (apps) installed in a container (located at
72                /scif/apps) you should run inspect command with --list-apps <container-image> flag.
73                ( See https://sci-f.github.io for more information on SCIF apps)
74
75                The following environment variables are available to you when called
76                from the shell inside the container. The top variables are relevant
77                to the active app (--app <app>) and the bottom available for all
78                apps regardless of the active app. Both sets of variables are also available during development (at build time).
79
80                ACTIVE APP ENVIRONMENT:
81                    SCIF_APPNAME       the name for the active application
82                    SCIF_APPROOT       the installation folder for the application created at /scif/apps/<app>
83                    SCIF_APPMETA       the application metadata folder
84                    SCIF_APPDATA       the data folder created for the application at /scif/data/<app>
85                      SCIF_APPINPUT    expected input folder within data base folder
86                      SCIF_APPOUTPUT   the output data folder within data base folder
87
88                    SCIF_APPENV        points to the application's custom environment.sh file in its metadata folder
89                    SCIF_APPLABELS     is the application's labels.json in the metadata folder
90                    SCIF_APPBIN        is the bin folder for the app, which is automatically added to the $PATH when the app is active
91                    SCIF_APPLIB        is the application's library folder that is added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
92                    SCIF_APPRUN        is the runscript
93                    SCIF_APPHELP       is the help file for the runscript
94                    SCIF_APPTEST       is the testing script (test.sh) associated with the applicatio
95                    SCIF_APPNAME       the name for the active application
96                    SCIF_APPFILES      the files section associated with the application that are added to
97
98
99                GLOBAL APP ENVIRONMENT:
100
101                    SCIF_DATA             scif defined data base for all apps (/scif/data)
102                    SCIF_APPS             scif defined install bases for all apps (/scif/apps)
103                    SCIF_APPROOT_<app>    root for application <app>
104                    SCIF_APPDATA_<app>    data root for application <app>
105
106                To list all your apps:
107
108                $ singularity inspect --list-apps ubuntu.sif
109
110                To list only labels in the json format from an image:
111
112                $ singularity inspect --json --labels ubuntu.sif
113
114                To verify you own a single application on your container image, use the --app <appname> flag:
115
116                $ singularity inspect --app <appname> ubuntu.sif
