EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

45       The arcmkdir command creates directories on grid storage  elements  and
46       indexing  services.   If  the parent directory does not exist and -p is
47       not specified, then arcmkdir will probably fail, but it depends on  the
48       protocol.  The  permissions on the new directory are the default of the
49       server, or if the protocol requires them to be specified then  the  di‐
50       rectory  is  only readable/writable/searchable by the user (the equiva‐
51       lent of 700 on a file system).
52
53       If url starts from '@', the remaining argument is assumed to be a  path
54       to  a local file containing a list of URLs, one per line.  In this case
55       arcmkdir performs like it were called multiple times - once  for  every
56       URL.
57
58       Depending  on  the  installed libraries (check with -P ), the following
59       protocols may be used: file  (file://  prefix  may  be omitted),  http,
60       https, httpg, ftp, gsiftp, srm, root.

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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

72       X509_USER_PROXY
73              The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set un‐
74              less the proxy is in a non-standard location.
75
76
77       ARC_LOCATION
78              The  location  where  ARC  is installed can be specified by this
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.
83
84
85       ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
86              The  location  of ARC plugins can be specified by this variable.
87              Multiple locations can be specified by separating them by  :  (;
88              in Windows). The default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in
89              Windows).
