Supply proj as the project number for charging. Currently, no charging is done for metadata operations, so this option is a placeholder for when charging might be imposed.

A starting point in the directory hierarchy.

The first argument that starts with - (hyphen), ! (bang), or ( (left parenthesis) and all subsequent arguments will be interpreted as an expression made up of the following primaries and operators. In the descriptions, wherever n is used as a primary argument, it will be interpreted as a decimal integer optionally preceded by a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, as follows:

True if the difference between the MSS file access (read) time and the time msfind was started, rounded up to the next full 24-hour period, is n 24-hour periods.

True if the class of service for a file matches cos.

True if the difference between the MSS file reference time and the time msfind was started, rounded up to the next full 24-hour period, is n 24-hour periods.

Always true. It causes a depth first traversal to be done such that all entries in the directory are acted upon before the directory itself. The default is to act on the directory before the entries in the directory.

True if the invoked DCS command, cmd, returns a zero value as its exit status. The end of this expression must be terminated by a semicolon. Note that you may need to escape the semicolon to prevent your shell from interpreting it, and the semicolon must a separate argument to the msfind command. An cmd argument containing only the two characters {} shall be replaced by the current (absolute) MSS pathname. The current directory of cmd will be the current directory of msfind. Only other DCS MSS metadata commands that run on the DCS server may be named as cmd.

Evaluates as true if the MSS file project number is project.

True if the difference between the MSS file write time and the time msfind was started, rounded up to the next full 24-hour period, is n 24-hour periods.

True if the basename of the MSS file name being examined matches pattern as a shell pattern.

True if the modification time of the current MSS file is more recent than the modification time of MSS file file.

True if the pathname being examined matches pattern as a shell pattern.

True if the retention period (in days) is n.

Always evaluates as true; causes the current pathname to be written to standard output.

Always evaluates as true; causes msfind not to descend the current path if it is a directory. If ­depth is specified, -prune has no effect.

Evaluates as true if the initialization time subtracted from the estimated MSS file purge time is n-1 to n multiples of 24 hours. Note that the subtraction for purge times is reversed from other time comparisons since the estimated purge time is almost always in the future. If the estimated purge time is in the past, a zero value is substituted for the result of the subtraction.

True if the MSS file size in bytes, divided by 512 and rounded up to the next integer, is n. If n is followed by the character c, the size is in bytes.

Evaluates as true if the type of the path is c, where c is d for a directory or f for an MSS file.

Evaluates as true if the MSS file belongs to user uname, which may be either a scientist number or an MSS user name.

True if expression is true.

Negation of a primary; the unary NOT operator.

Conjunction of primaries; the AND operator is implied by the juxtaposition of two primaries or made explicit by the optional -and operator. The second expression is not evaluated if the first is false.

Alternation of primaries; the OR operator. The second expression is not evaluated if the first expression is true.
