NAME

       gfimport_text - divide and register a text file

SYNOPSIS

       gfimport_text [ options ] file

DESCRIPTION

       gfimport_text  is  a  sample  program  for dividing a text file to file
       fragments by the line and registering it to the Gfarm filesystem.

OPTIONS

       -H hostfile
              specifies a list of filesystem nodes.  The hostfile consists  of
              a  hostname  of  a  filesystem  node  in each line.  The file is
              almost uniformly divided into file fragments.

              if ‘‘-’’ is specified, standard input is used to read  the  host
              list.

       -f fragment-file
              specifies  a  fragment-file  that consists of a fragment size in
              byte and a filesystem node separated by a white  space  in  each
              line.

              if ‘‘-’’ is specified, standard input is used.

       -o gfarm-URL
              specifies an output file.

       -?     displays a list of command options.

EXAMPLES

   IMPORTING BY SPLITTING TO SPECIFIED NUMBER OF FRAGMENTS
       The following is an example using gfimport_text to import a source_file
       as gfarm:file by splitting to 8 fragments.

       gfsched -N 8 | gfimport_text -H - -o gfarm:file source_file

   IMPORTING BY SPLITTING TO SPECIFIED NUMBER OF  FRAGMENTS    FOR  PARTICULAR
       PROGRAM
       The following is an example using gfimport_text to import a source_file
       as gfarm:file by splitting to 8 fragments to be processed by gfarm:prog
       program.

       gfsched -N 8 -p gfarm:prog | gfimport_text -H - -o gfarm:file source_file

   IMPORTING INTO SAME DISPOSITION WITH AN EXISTING GFARM FILE
       The following is an example using gfimport_text to import a source_file
       as gfarm:file into same disposition with existing file  gfarm:template.

       gfsched gfarm:template | gfimport_text -H - -o gfarm:file source_file
