The following functionalities are available - `cat`, `tail`, `ls` and 15 `stat`. 16 17 - `cat`: If the target path is a file, Nomad will `cat` the file. 18 19 - `tail`: If the target path is a file and `-tail` flag is specified, Nomad will 20 `tail` the file. 21 22 - `ls`: If the target path is a directory, Nomad displays the name of a file and 23 directories and their associated information. 24 25 - `stat`: If the `-stat` flag is used, Nomad will display information about a 26 file. 27 28 ## Usage 29 30 ```plaintext 31 nomad alloc fs [options] <allocation> <path> 32 ``` 33 34 This command accepts a single allocation ID (unless the `-job` flag is 35 specified, in which case an allocation is chosen from the given job) and a path. 36 The path is relative to the root of the allocation directory. The path is 37 optional and it defaults to `/` of the allocation directory. 38 39 ## General Options 40 41 @include 'general_options.mdx' 42 43 ## Fs Options 44 45 - `-H`: Machine friendly output. 46 47 - `-verbose`: Display verbose output. 48 49 - `-job`: Use a random allocation from the specified job, preferring a running 50 allocation. 51 52 - `-stat`: Show stat information instead of displaying the file, or listing the 53 directory. 54 55 - `-f`: Causes the output to not stop when the end of the file is reached, but 56 rather to wait for additional output. 57 58 - `-tail`: Show the files contents with offsets relative to the end of the file. 59 If no offset is given, -n is defaulted to 10. 60 61 - `-n`: Sets the tail location in best-efforted number of lines relative to the 62 end of the file. 63 64 - `-c`: Sets the tail location in number of bytes relative to the end of the file. 65 66 ## Examples 67 68 ```shell-sessionnomad alloc fs eb17e557 69 Mode Size Modified Time Name 70 drwxrwxr-x 4096 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC alloc/ 71 drwxrwxr-x 4096 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis/ 72 -rw-rw-r-- 0 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis_exit_status 73 74 75 $ nomad alloc fs eb17e557 redis/local 76 Mode Size Modified Time Name 77 -rw-rw-rw- 0 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis.stderr 78 -rw-rw-rw- 17 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis.stdout 79 80 81 $ nomad alloc fs -stat eb17e557 redis/local/redis.stdout 82 Mode Size Modified Time Name 83 -rw-rw-rw- 17 28 Jan 16 05:39 UTC redis.stdout 84 85 86 $ nomad alloc fs eb17e557 redis/local/redis.stdout 87 foobar 88 baz 89 90 $ nomad alloc fs -tail -f -n 3 eb17e557 redis/local/redis.stdout 91 foobar 92 baz 93 bam 94 <blocking> 95 ``` 96 97 ## Using Job ID instead of Allocation ID 98 99 Setting the `-job` flag causes a random allocation of the specified job to be 100 selected. Nomad will prefer to select a running allocation ID for the job, but 101 if no running allocations for the job are found, Nomad will use a dead 102 allocation. 103 104 ```plaintext 105 nomad alloc fs -job <job-id> <path> 106 ``` 107 108 This can be useful for debugging a job that has multiple allocations, and it is 109 not required to observe a specific allocation.
