datalad-aggregate-metadata(1) General Commands Manual datalad-aggregate-metadata(1)

SYNOPSIS

datalad-aggregate-metadata [--version] [-h] [-l LEVEL] [-p {condor}] [-d DATASET] [--guess-native-type] [-r] [--recursion-limit LEVELS] [--nosave] [--if-dirty {fail,save-before,ignore}]

DESCRIPTION

Aggregate meta data of a dataset for later query.

By default meta data is aggregated across all configured native meta data
sources. Optionally, the type of available meta data can guessed, if no
types are configures. Moreover, it is possible to aggregate meta data from
any subdatasets into the superdataset, in order to facilitate data
discovery without having to obtain any subdataset.

Returns
-------
List Any datasets where (updated) aggregated meta data was saved.

OPTIONS

--version show the program's version and license information -h, --help, --help-np show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message -l LEVEL, --log-level LEVEL set logging verbosity level. Choose among critical, error, warning, info, debug. Also you can specify an integer <10 to provide even more debugging information -p {condor}, --pbs-runner {condor} execute command by scheduling it via available PBS. For settings, config file will be consulted -d DATASET, --dataset DATASET specify the dataset to perform the install operation on. If no dataset is given, an attempt is made to identify the dataset based on the current working directory and/or the PATH given. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) --guess-native-type guess native meta data type of datasets, if none is configured. With a configured, or auto-detected meta data type, no native meta data will be aggregated. [Default: False] -r, --recursive if set, recurse into potential subdataset. [Default: False] --recursion-limit LEVELS limit recursion into subdataset to the given number of levels. Constraints: value must be convertible to type 'int' [Default: None] --nosave by default all modifications to a dataset are immediately saved. Given this option will disable this behavior. [Default: True] --if-dirty {fail,save-before,ignore} desired behavior if a dataset with unsaved changes is discovered: 'fail' will trigger an error and further processing is aborted; 'save-before' will save all changes prior any further action; 'ignore' let's datalad proceed as if the dataset would not have unsaved changes. [Default: 'save-before']
