EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

44       The arcrename command renames files or directories on grid storage ele‐
45       ments  and  indexing  services. The path component of oldurl and newurl
46       must differ and it must be the only component of  both  URLs  which  is
47       different.   arcrename will exit with an error if the paths are equiva‐
48       lent or other components of the URLs are different. Renaming a  URL  to
49       an existing URL will either fail or overwrite the existing URL, depend‐
50       ing on the protocol.  arcrename works purely at the namespace level and
51       does not perform data transfer.
52
53       For  more information on ARC URL syntax please read "Protocols, Uniform
54       Resource Locators (URL) and Extensions Supported  in  ARC"  [NORDUGRID-
55       TECH-7]
56
57       Depending  on  the  installed libraries (check with -P ), the following
58       protocols may be used: file  (file://  prefix  may  be omitted),  http,
59       https, httpg, ftp, gsiftp, srm, root. However renaming is not supported
60       or implemented for some of those protocols.

FILES

64       ~/.arc/client.conf
65              Some options can be given default values by specifying  them  in
66              the  ARC  client configuration file. By using the --conffile op‐
67              tion a different configuration file can be  used  than  the  de‐
68              fault.

79              variable.  If  not specified the install location will be deter‐
80              mined from the path to the command being executed, and  if  this
81              fails a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be
82              used.
