<B>SYNOPSIS</B>
Top-level gsutil Options
<B>DESCRIPTION</B>
gsutil supports separate options for the top-level gsutil command and
the individual sub-commands (like cp, rm, etc.) The top-level options
control behavior of gsutil that apply across commands. For example, in
the command:
gsutil -m cp -p file gs://bucket/obj
the -m option applies to gsutil, while the -p option applies to the cp
sub-command.
<B>OPTIONS</B>
-d Shows HTTP requests/headers.
-D Shows HTTP requests/headers plus additional debug info needed when
posting support requests.
-DD Shows HTTP requests/headers plus additional debug info plus HTTP
upstream payload.
-h Allows you to specify additional HTTP headers, for example:
gsutil -h "Cache-Control:public,max-age=3600" \\
-h "Content-Type:text/html" cp ...
Note that you need to quote the headers/values that
contain spaces (such as "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=filename.ext"), to avoid having the shell split them
into separate arguments.
Note that because the -h option allows you to specify any HTTP
header, it is both powerful and potentially dangerous:
- It is powerful because it allows you to specify headers that
gsutil doesn't currently know about (e.g., to request
service features from a different storage service provider
than Google); or to override the values gsutil would normally
send with different values.
- It is potentially dangerous because you can specify headers
that cause gsutil to send invalid requests, or that in
other ways change the behavior of requests.
Thus, you should be sure you understand the underlying storage
service HTTP API (and what impact the headers you specify will
have) before using the gsutil -h option.
See also "gsutil help setmeta" for the ability to set metadata
fields on objects after they have been uploaded.
-m Causes supported operations (cp, mv, rm, setacl, setmeta) to run
in parallel. This can significantly improve performance if you are
uploading, downloading, moving, removing, or changing ACLs on
a large number of files over a fast network connection.
gsutil performs the specified operation using a combination of
multi-threading and multi-processing, using a number of threads
and processors determined by the parallel_thread_count and
parallel_process_count values set in the boto configuration
file. You might want to experiment with these value, as the
best value can vary based on a number of factors, including
network speed, number of CPUs, and available memory.
Using the -m option may make your performance worse if you
are using a slower network, such as the typical network speeds
offered by non-business home network plans.
If a download or upload operation using parallel transfer fails
before the entire transfer is complete (e.g. failing after 300 of
1000 files have been transferred), you will need to restart the
entire transfer.
-s Tells gsutil to use a simulated storage provider (for testing).
