The following functionalities are available - `cat`, `tail`, `ls` and 13 `stat`. 14 15 * `cat`: If the target path is a file, Nomad will `cat` the file. 16 * `tail`: If the target path is a file and `-tail` flag is specified, Nomad will 17 `tail` the file. 18 * `ls`: If the target path is a directory, Nomad displays the name of a file and 19 directories and their associated information. 20 * `stat`: If the `-stat` flag is used, Nomad will display information about a 21 file. 22 23 ## Usage 24 25 ``` 26 nomad fs [options] <allocation> <path> 27 ``` 28 29 This command accepts a single allocation ID (unless the `-job` flag is specified, 30 in which case an allocation is chosen from the given job) and a path. The path is 31 relative to the root of the allocation directory. The path is optional and it 32 defaults to `/` of the allocation directory. 33 34 ## General Options 35 36 <%= partial "docs/commands/_general_options" %> 37 38 ## Fs Options 39 40 * `-H`: Machine friendly output. 41 42 * `-verbose`: Display verbose output. 43 44 * `-job`: Use a random allocation from the specified job, preferring a running 45 allocation. 46 47 * `-stat`: Show stat information instead of displaying the file, or listing the 48 directory. 49 50 * `-f`: Causes the output to not stop when the end of the file is reached, but 51 rather to wait for additional output. 52 53 * `-tail`: Show the files contents with offsets relative to the end of the file. 54 If no offset is given, -n is defaulted to 10. 55 56 * `-n`: Sets the tail location in best-efforted number of lines relative to the 57 end of the file. 58 59 * `-c`: Sets the tail location in number of bytes relative to the end of the file. 60 61 ## Examples 62 63 ``` 64 $ nomad fs eb17e557 65 Mode Size Modified Time Name 66 drwxrwxr-x 4096 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC alloc/ 67 drwxrwxr-x 4096 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis/ 68 -rw-rw-r-- 0 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis_exit_status 69 70 71 $ nomad fs eb17e557 redis/local 72 Mode Size Modified Time Name 73 -rw-rw-rw- 0 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis.stderr 74 -rw-rw-rw- 17 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis.stdout 75 76 77 $ nomad fs -stat eb17e557 redis/local/redis.stdout 78 Mode Size Modified Time Name 79 -rw-rw-rw- 17 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis.stdout 80 81 82 $ nomad fs eb17e557 redis/local/redis.stdout 83 foobar 84 baz 85 86 $ nomad fs -tail -f -n 3 eb17e557 redis/local/redis.stdout 87 foobar 88 baz 89 bam 90 <blocking> 91 ``` 92 93 ## Using Job ID instead of Allocation ID 94 95 Setting the `-job` flag causes a random allocation of the specified job to be 96 selected. Nomad will prefer to select a running allocation ID for the job, but 97 if no running allocations for the job are found, Nomad will use a dead 98 allocation. 99 100 ``` 101 nomad fs -job <job-id> <path> 102 ``` 103 104 105 This can be useful for debugging a job that has multiple allocations, and it's 106 not really required to use a specific allocation ID.
