parrot_package_create(1)
NAME
parrot_package_create - generate a package based on the accessed files and the preserved environment variables
SYNOPSIS
*parrot_package_create [options]*
DESCRIPTION
After recording the accessed files and environment variables of one program with the help of the --name-list parameter and the --env-list of parrot_run, parrot_package_create can generate a package containing all the accessed files. You can also add the dependencies recorded in a new namelist file into an existing package.
OPTIONS
- -a --add
The path of an existing package. - -e --env-list
The path of the environment variables. - --new-env The relative path of the environment variable file under the package.
- -n --name-list
The path of the namelist list. - -p --package-path
The path of the package. - -d --debug
Enable debugging for this sub-system. - -o --debug-file
Write debugging output to this file. By default, debugging is sent to stderr (":stderr"). You may specify logs to be sent to stdout (":stdout") instead. - -h, --help Show the help info.
EXIT STATUS
On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.
EXAMPLES
To generate the package corresponding to namelist and envlist:
% parrot_package_create --name-list namelist --env-list envlist --package-path /tmp/package
Here is a short instruction about how to make use of parrot_run, parrot_package_create and parrot_package_run to generate one package for your experiment and repeat your experiment within your package.
Step 1: Run your program under parrot_run and using --name-list and --env-list parameters to record the filename list and environment variables.
% parrot_run --name-list namelist --env-list envlist /bin/bash
% exit
Step 2: Using parrot_package_create to generate a package.
% parrot_package_create --name-list namelist --env-path envlist --package-path /tmp/package
Step 3: Repeat your program within your package.
% parrot_package_run --package-path /tmp/package --shell-type bash ...
% exit
You can also add the dependencies recorded in a new namelist file, namelist1, into an existing package:
% parrot_package_create --name-list namelist1 --env-list envlist1 --new-env envlist1 --add /tmp/package
