globus rls client Documentation

The Globus Replica Location Service (RLS) C API provides functions to view and update data in a RLS catalog. There are 2 types of RLS servers, Local Replica Catalog (LRC) servers, which maintain Logical to Physical File Name mappings (LFN to PFN), and Replica Location Index (RLI) servers, which maintain LFN to LRC mappings. Note an RLS server can act as both an LRC and RLI server.

Functions are divided into the following groups:

• Activation
• Connection Management
• Operations on an LRC server
• Operations on an RLI server
• Miscellaneous Types and Functions
• Query Results
• Status Codes

Applications using this API should include globus_rls_client.h, and be linked with the library globus_rls_client_FLAVOR.
