💅 ARCPLUGIN(1) — NorduGrid Users Manual

okay bestie, so first thing: this whole page lives in the NorduGrid Users Manual and the command is called arcplugin. yes it's lowercase, yes that's on purpose, don't come for her 💅

✨ NAME ✨

arcplugin — the ARC plugin management utility. she manages plugins, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so arcplugin is literally your girl for two things:

  • she prints the description of an ARC plugin for you
  • she creates ARC Plugin Descriptor (APD) files

that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arcplugin [-c] [-r] [-p priority,regex] [-h] plugin_path [plugin_path
[...]]

(you can throw as many plugin_path args at her as you want, she's not scared 🫶)

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h — prints the help message and then dips. exits immediately, no lingering, main character exit energy 💅
  • -c — if you specify this, an APD file gets created. the name is the same as the ARC plugin, except the suffix gets replaced with .apd. slay 🎀
  • -r — if you specify this, the operation is fully recursive. like, she goes all the way down. no half measures 🔥
  • -p — defines which priority gets assigned to each plugin. each plugin's kind and name attributes are matched against the regex you gave. whichever one matches gets the specified priority. you can specify this option multiple times, so stack 'em bestie 💖 the priority is a 32 bit positive integer, and the default value is 128. no cap.
  • plugin_path — full path to an ARC plugin loadable module file, or to a directory containing such modules. in that last case (directory) the operation recurses once into that directory. for fully recursive operation use -r — and yes that's literally a different thing, don't @ me 🙈

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭
