NAME
     mfsarchive - MooseFS archive storage mode management tools

SYNOPSIS
     mfschkarchive [-?] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] OBJECT...

     mfsclrarchive [-?] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] OBJECT...

     mfssetarchive [-?] [-n|-h|-H|-k|-m|-g] OBJECT...

DESCRIPTION
     These tools operate on a filesystem object's (file, special file, or direc-
     tory) archive bit. This bit is usually set automatically according to stor-
     age  class  definition  (ARCH_DELAY). When this bit is set then ARCH_LABELS
     from storage class definition are used, otherwise KEEP_LABES are used.

     mfschkarchive prints current archive bit value of given object(s). If given
     OBJECT is a DIRECTORY then it prints current archive bit value of all  con-
     tained files (recursively).

     mfsclrarchive  and  mfssetarchive	clears/sets current archive bit of given
     object(s). As in mfschkarchive if OBJECT is  a  DIRECTORY	then  this  tool
     works recursively.

OPTIONS
     Most  MooseFS  tools use -n, -h, -H, -k, -m and -g options to select format
     of printed numbers. -n causes to print exact numbers, -h uses  binary  pre-
     fixes (Ki, Mi, Gi as 2^10, 2^20 etc.) while -H uses SI prefixes (k, M, G as
     10^3,  10^6  etc.).  -k, -m and -g show plain numbers respectivaly in kibis
     (binary kilo - 1024), mebis (binary mega - 1024^2) and gibis (binary giga -
     1024^3). The same can be achieved by setting MFSHRFORMAT environment  vari-
     able to: 0 (exact numbers), 1 or h (binary prefixes), 2 or H (SI prefixes),
     3	or h+ (exact numbers and binary prefixes), 4 or H+ (exact numbers and SI
     prefixes). The default is to print just exact numbers.

     Option -? displays short usage message.
