• -d, --debug=<flag> — turn on debugging for this subsystem 🐛
• -b, --block-size=<size> — set the transfer buffer size. (default is 65536 bytes) 📦
• -f, --follow — follow the input file, exactly like tail -f 👀

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

Copying a single local file with chirp_put, iconic behaviour:

% chirp_put /tmp/mydata.dat server1.somewhere.edu /mydata/mydata.dat

Now, when you're copying big data files that take longer than 3600s to copy, use chirp_put with the option -t time so chirp_put actually has enough time to finish before it gives up 💀:

% chirp_put -t 36000 /tmp/mybigdata.dat server1.somewhere.edu /mydata/mybigdata.dat

fr fr, if your file is thicc, bump that timeout. the default will not wait for you 💅
