✨ nordugridmap(8) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about nordugridmap — the ARC grid-mapfile generator from the NorduGrid ARC fam. 💖 This is section 8 of the manual, she's iconic, she's a system admin tool, and she's about to make your grid-mapfile(s) generate themselves. periodt. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

nordugridmap — the ARC grid-mapfile generator. literally what it says on the tin. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nordugridmap [-t, --test] [-c, --config FILE] [-h, --help]

that's it. three flags. she's lowkey minimalist and we respect it. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So nordugridmap is usually run as a crontab entry — like, it just vibes in your crontab and automatically generates your grid-mapfile(s) for you while you sleep. main character energy, no cap. 😴✨

All the info about which mapfiles to generate, where the info comes from, and all the other related options lives in one single configuration file. one file. that's the whole system. obsessed. 🎀

The common NorduGrid ARC configuration file arc.conf(5) is used if not redefined via the command line option. iykyk.

🌈 EXTENDED DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea on the sources of information that nordugridmap supports: 🫖

  • http(s):// — URL to a plain text file. The file should contain a list of DNs, one DN per line. that's the whole format bestie, no stress. 🍓
  • voms(s):// — URL to the VOMS-Admin interface. ✨
  • nordugrid — NorduGrid VO members. simple as that. 🦋
  • file:// — a local file, either stand-alone or dynamically generated by nordugridmap herself. The file should contain a list of DNs with optional mapped unixid, and the format is:
"user DN" [mapped unixID]
  • vo:// — a reference to another VO configuration block. 💜
We are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO READ the NorduGrid ARC documentation, the arc.conf(5) manual page, and/or the arc.conf.reference to learn all the details about nordugridmap configuration options usage. fr fr, go read it, it's giving essential. 😭📚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -t, --test — does not actually create grid-mapfile(s). instead it does a test run in debug mode. it's a dress rehearsal, not the show. 🙈
  • -c, --config _FILE_ — specifies the configuration file to be used. by default the arc.conf(5) is used. nordugridmap utilizes the [nordugridmap] section for general options fine-tuning, and processes all the [vo] blocks from the config. all of them. every single one. 👑
  • -h, --help — show help options. the classic. the beloved. 🫶
