Purpose

Displays the tag names for tagged directories or file names in Oracle ACFS file systems.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil tag info -h
acfsutil tag info [-r] [-c -t tagname] path [path ...]
acfsutil tag info [-c -t tagname]

acfsutil tag info -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-26 contains the options available with the acfsutil tag info command.

The acfsutil tag info command can recursively apply the operation to all child files and subdirectories if the -r option is included with specified directory path names.

If no path names are specified, the acfsutil tag info command searches all Oracle ACFS mount points for tagged files.

Only the paths of tagged files in an Oracle ACFS file system are displayed. If the -t tagname option is included, only paths of files with a tag name exactly matching the specified tagname are displayed. If the -c option is included, then tagname can be a case-insensitive substring of a tag name for a successful match. For example, the acfsutil tag info -c -t AG command would display path names of files with tag names such as tag1, ag, or AG.

Any user may use this command to display tag info on a directory to which the user has read access.

Running acfsutil tag info on a file or directory that is protected by a security realm fails. If a user runs acfsutil tag info with the -r option on a directory protected by a security realm and the user does not have browse permissions on the directory, then no output is displayed. To resolve this issue, the user must be added to the security realm and granted READDIR permissions. For information about adding objects to an Oracle ACFS security realm, refer to "acfsutil sec realm add".

Examples

The following example show the use of the acfsutil tag info command.

Purpose

Adds the given tag to the specified files or directories in an Oracle ACFS file system

Syntax and Description

acfsutil tag set -h
acfsutil tag set [-v] [-r] tagname path [path ...]

acfsutil tag set -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-27 contains the options available with the acfsutil tag set command.

The command can recursively apply the operation to all child files and subdirectories for the specified directory path names.

When adding a tag name to a file or directory, the existing tags on that file or directory remain unchanged. New files that are created after a directory is assigned a tag implicitly inherit tags from their parent directories. Existing files in the directory do not inherit the new tag; these files must be explicitly assigned the tag. Renaming a file or moving a file to a subdirectory within the same file system does not cause the file to inherit tag names from the new parent directory. Moving a file between file systems uses a copy operation and the newly created file does inherit the tag names of the parent directory.

There is no fixed maximum number of tag names for an Oracle ACFS file system or for each file and directory. However, the number of tag names is limited by the tag names that fit in up to 64 KB of special metadata storage for each file and directory. This metadata also contains information to manage the extended attributes. Longer tag names reduce the total of tag names that can be set on a file or directory. For example, if all tag names were 4 bytes long, then it is possible to hold approximately 1730 tag names, assuming no other extended attribute information is present.

Any user who has the privilege to modify the target file or directory may run this command.

If a user runs acfsutil tag set with the -r option on a directory protected by a security realm and does not have browse permissions on the directory, then no tags are applied. To resolve this issue, the user must be added to the security realm and granted READDIR permissions. For information about adding objects to an Oracle ACFS security realm, refer to "acfsutil sec realm add".

Examples

The following example show the use of the acfsutil tag set command.

Purpose

Removes the given tag name or all tag names from the specified file or directory.

Syntax and Description

acfsutil tag unset -h
acfsutil tag unset [-v] [-r] {all | tagname} path [path ...]

acfsutil tag unset -h displays help text and exits.

Table 16-28 contains the options available with the acfsutil tag unset command.

The command can recursively apply the operation to all child files and subdirectories for the specified directory path names.

When removing a tag name from a file or directory, other existing tags on that file or directory remain unchanged.

Any user who has privilege to modify the target file or directory may run this command.

If a user runs acfsutil tag unset with the -r option on a directory protected by a security realm and does not have browse permissions on the directory, then no tags are removed. To resolve this issue, the user must be added to the security realm and granted READDIR permissions. For information about adding objects to an Oracle ACFS security realm, refer to "acfsutil sec realm add".
