✨ GFAL-EVICT(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the gfal-evict page from the General Commands Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet and honestly kinda iconic — it's the "girl, leave" command for your disk buffer 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

gfal-evict — evict a file from a disk buffer 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gfal-evict [ OPTION ]...  FILE [ TOKEN ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so gfal-evict is literally this command that evicts a file from a disk buffer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it says "bestie, you gotta go" to a file sitting in a buffer and the file goes 🚪✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — shows you the help for the command. like, it explains itself. self-aware king 👑
• -V, --version — spits out the version info and then dips, exit stage left 💨
• -v, --verbose — verbose mode, aka the yapping setting 🗣️ repeat it up to 3 times to get the absolute most verbose mode possible. yes, three. that's the max. more is not more here, bestie 😭
• -D, --definition — define properties for gfal2 ✨
• -C, --client-info — provide custom client-side information 💌
• -t, --timeout — the global timeout for running the command. if time runs out before it finishes, the command gets interrupted. dramatic but necessary ⏰💀
• -E, --cert — your user certificate 🎀
• --key — your user private key 🔑 (keep this one safe fr fr)
• FILE — the URI of the file that's getting evicted 🚪
• TOKEN — the token from the bring online request. it's an optional argument for some protocols, for example: xrootd 🌈
