mfsmetadirinfo(8)	     This is part of MooseFS	       mfsmetadirinfo(8)

NAME
     mfsmetadirinfo  -	uses MooseFS metadata to calculate precise directory in-
     formation (similar to mfsdirinfo)

SYNOPSIS
     mfsmetadirinfo [-f J|C|C x] [-o  outputfile]  [-a	sum_name]  metadata_file
     PATH [PATH...]

DESCRIPTION
     mfsmetadirinfo  is  a  tool that can be used to calculate precise directory
     information such as number of inodes, number of chunks, total length of all
     files, size, real size etc. Output can be generated as plain text,  CSV  or
     JSON.  Data for calculations is read from indicated metadata.mfs mfs master
     metadata file and is calculated for directory(ies) specified by PATH  para-
     meter(s) - relative in mfs instance. Default output is human-readable plain
     text, JSON or CSV can be selected using options.

     Options:

     -f     switch  output  format to JSON (J) or CSV (C); for CSV, if only C is
	    specified, default separator will be used (comma), if second charac-
	    ter is specified, this character will be used as  the  separator  in
	    CSV data

     -o     write output to outputfile instead of stdout

     -a     optional  parameter that indicates the tool should calculate the in-
	    formation for all supplied paths together (a sum), this  calculation
	    is indicated by sum_name in output data

     metadata_file
	    path to metadata.mfs file

   OUTPUT FIELDS
     For  each PATH and, if defined, for sum_name, following information will be
     indicated:

     inodes    number of all unique inodes (file system objects)

     files     number of all unique files

     dirs      number of all unique directories

     chunks    number of all unique chunks

     kchunks   number of all unique chunks using KEEP policy

     achunks   number of all unique chunks using ARCH policy

     length    total length of all unique files

     size      total size of all unique chunks

     rsize     total real size of all unique chunks (number of copies taken into
	       account)

     ksize     hypothetical real size of all unique chunks  if	all  were  using
	       KEEP policy

     asize     hypothetical  real  size  of  all unique chunks if all were using
	       ARCH policy
