<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <strong class="command">s3qlctrl</strong> command performs various actions on the S3QL file system mounted
in <tt class="var docutils literal"><span class="pre">mountpoint</span></tt>.</p>
<p><strong class="command">s3qlctrl</strong> can only be called by the user that mounted the file system
and (if the file system was mounted with <tt class="cmdopt docutils literal"><span class="pre">--allow-other</span></tt> or
<tt class="cmdopt docutils literal"><span class="pre">--allow-root</span></tt>) the root user. This limitation might be
removed in the future (see <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/s3ql/issues/detail?id=155">issue 155</a>).</p>
<p>The following actions may be specified:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>flushcache</dt>
<dd>Uploads all changed file data to the backend.</dd>
<dt>upload-meta</dt>
<dd>Upload metadata to the backend. All file system operations will
block while a snapshot of the metadata is prepared for upload.</dd>
<dt>cachesize</dt>
<dd><p class="first">Changes the cache size of the file system. This action requires an
additional argument that specifies the new cache size in KiB, so the
complete command line is:</p>
<div class="last highlight-commandline"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="l">s3qlctrl </span><span class="ge">[options]</span><span class="l"> cachesize </span><span class="nv">&lt;mountpoint&gt;</span><span class="l"> </span><span class="nv">&lt;new-cache-size&gt;</span><span class="l"></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</dd>
<dt>log</dt>
<dd><p class="first">Change the amount of information that is logged into
<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.s3ql/mount.log</span></tt> file. The complete syntax is:</p>
<div class="highlight-commandline"><pre>s3qlctrl [options] log &lt;mountpoint&gt; &lt;level&gt; [&lt;module&gt; [&lt;module&gt; ...]]</pre>
</div>
<p class="last">here <tt class="var docutils literal"><span class="pre">level</span></tt> is the desired new log level and may be either of
<em>debug</em>, <em>info</em> or <em>warn</em>. One or more <tt class="var docutils literal"><span class="pre">module</span></tt> may only be
specified with the <em>debug</em> level and allow to restrict the debug
output to just the listed modules.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="section" id="options">
<h2>Options<a class="headerlink" href="#options" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <strong class="command">s3qlctrl</strong> command also accepts the following options, no matter
what specific action is being invoked:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><table class="docutils option-list" frame="void" rules="none">
<col class="option" />
<col class="description" />
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--debug</span></kbd></td>
<td>activate debugging output</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--quiet</span></kbd></td>
<td>be really quiet</td></tr>
<tr><td class="option-group">
<kbd><span class="option">--version</span></kbd></td>
<td>just print program version and exit</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Hint: run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">s3qlctrl</span> <span class="pre">&lt;action&gt;</span> <span class="pre">--help</span></tt> to get help on the additional arguments
that the different actions take.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="exit-status">
<h2>Exit Status<a class="headerlink" href="#exit-status" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p><strong class="command">s3qlctrl</strong> returns exit code 0 if the operation succeeded and 1 if some
error occurred.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="see-also">
<h2>See Also<a class="headerlink" href="#see-also" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
