NAME
mln - make link between objects
SYNOPSIS
mln
[OPTION...] TARGET LINK_NAME
DESCRIPTION
mln creates a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME. Links in Manta are
allowed to be created by pointing at an object only, and are semantically
different than a UNIX link (both hard and soft). Links in Manta are essentially
a "snapshot". That is given object A
and a link B
to A
, when A
is
overwritten to be A'
, B
will still return the original value of A
.
EXAMPLES
Creates a link from README that snapshots the contents of README.md.
mln ~~/stor/README.md ~~/stor/README
OPTIONS
-a, --account login
Authenticate as account (login name).
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
-i, --insecure
This option explicitly allows "insecure" SSL connections and transfers. All
SSL connections are attempted to be made secure by using the CA certificate
bundle installed by default.
-k, --key fingerprint
Authenticate using the SSH key described by FINGERPRINT. The key must
either be in ~/.ssh
or loaded in the SSH agent via ssh-add
.
--role=ROLE,ROLE,...
Specify which roles to assume for the request.
--role-tag=ROLE,ROLE,...
Set the role tags on the created link.
--user user
Authenticate as user under account.
-u, --url url
Manta base URL (such as https://us-central.manta.mnx.io
).
-v, --verbose
Print debug output to stderr. Repeat option to increase verbosity.
ENVIRONMENT
MANTA_USER
In place of -a, --account
.
MANTA_SUBUSER
In place of --user
.
MANTA_KEY_ID
In place of -k, --key
.
MANTA_ROLE
In place of --role
.
MANTA_URL
In place of -u, --url
.
MANTA_TLS_INSECURE
In place of -i, --insecure
.
The shortcut ~~
is equivalent to /:login
where :login
is the account login name.
DIAGNOSTICS
When using the -v
option, diagnostics will be sent to stderr in bunyan
output format. As an example of tracing all information about a request,
try:
mln -vv ~~/stor/foo 2>&1 | bunyan
BUGS
DSA keys do not work when loaded via the SSH agent.
