Command namespace

Command namespace resolves and manages names in the Vanadium namespace.

The namespace roots are set from the command line via --v23.namespace.root command line option or from environment variables that have a name starting with V23_NAMESPACE, e.g. V23_NAMESPACE, V23_NAMESPACE_2, V23_NAMESPACE_GOOGLE, etc. The command line options override the environment.

Usage:

namespace [flags] <command>

The namespace commands are:

glob        Returns all matching entries from the namespace
mount       Adds a server to the namespace
unmount     Removes a server from the namespace
resolve     Translates a object name to its object address(es)
resolvetomt Finds the address of the mounttable that holds an object name
permissions Manipulates permissions on an entry in the namespace
delete      Deletes a name from the namespace
help        Display help for commands or topics

Namespace glob - Returns all matching entries from the namespace ¶

Returns all matching entries from the namespace.

Usage:

namespace glob [flags] <pattern>

<pattern> is a glob pattern that is matched against all the names below the specified mount name.

The namespace glob flags are:

-fail-on-any-error=false
  exit on any error, by default glob will report errors but not return a
  non-zero exit code
-l=false
  Long listing format.

Namespace mount - Adds a server to the namespace ¶

Adds server <server> to the namespace with name <name>.

Usage:

namespace mount [flags] <name> <server> <ttl>

<name> is the name to add to the namespace. <server> is the object address of the server to add. <ttl> is the TTL of the new entry. It is a decimal number followed by a unit suffix (s, m, h). A value of 0s represents an infinite duration.

Namespace unmount - Removes a server from the namespace ¶

Removes server <server> with name <name> from the namespace.

Usage:

namespace unmount [flags] <name> <server>

<name> is the name to remove from the namespace. <server> is the object address of the server to remove.

Namespace resolve ¶

Translates a object name to its object address(es).

Usage:

namespace resolve [flags] <name>

<name> is the name to resolve.

The namespace resolve flags are:

-insecure=false
  Insecure mode: May return results from untrusted servers and invoke Resolve
  on untrusted mounttables
-s=false
  True to perform a shallow resolution

Namespace resolvetomt - Finds the address of the mounttable that holds an object name ¶

Finds the address of the mounttable that holds an object name.

Usage:

namespace resolvetomt [flags] <name>

<name> is the name to resolve.

The namespace resolvetomt flags are:

-insecure=false
  Insecure mode: May return results from untrusted servers and invoke Resolve

Namespace permissions - Manipulates permissions on an entry in the namespace ¶

Commands to get and set the permissions on a name - controlling the blessing names required to resolve the name.

The permissions are provided as an JSON-encoded version of the Permissions type defined in v.io/v23/security/access/types.vdl.

Usage:

namespace permissions [flags] <command>

The namespace permissions commands are:

get         Gets permissions on a mount name
set         Sets permissions on a mount name

Namespace permissions get - Gets permissions on a mount name ¶

Get retrieves the permissions on the usage of a name.

The output is a JSON-encoded Permissions object (defined in v.io/v23/security/access/types.vdl).

Usage:

namespace permissions get [flags] <name>

<name> is a name in the namespace.

Namespace permissions set - Sets permissions on a mount name ¶

Set replaces the permissions controlling usage of a mount name.

Usage:

namespace permissions set [flags] <name> <permissions>

<name> is the name on which permissions are to be set.

<permissions> is the path to a file containing a JSON-encoded Permissions object (defined in v.io/v23/security/access/types.vdl), or "-" for STDIN.

Namespace delete - Deletes a name from the namespace ¶

Deletes a name from the namespace.

Usage:

namespace delete [flags] <name>

<name> is a name to delete.

The namespace delete flags are:

-r=false
  Delete all children of the name in addition to the name itself.

Namespace help - Display help for commands or topics ¶

Help with no args displays the usage of the parent command.

Help with args displays the usage of the specified sub-command or help topic.

"help ..." recursively displays help for all commands and topics.

[command/topic ...] optionally identifies a specific sub-command or help topic.

The namespace help flags are:

-style=compact
  The formatting style for help output:
     compact   - Good for compact cmdline output.
     full      - Good for cmdline output, shows all global flags.
     godoc     - Good for godoc processing.
     shortonly - Only output short description.
  Override the default by setting the CMDLINE_STYLE environment variable.
