Command Reference

Rose Commands

rose app-run

Usage: rose app-run [OPTIONS] [--] [COMMAND ...]

Run an application according to its configuration.

May run a builtin application (if the mode setting in the configuration specifies the name of a builtin application) or a command.

Determine the command to run in this order:

If COMMAND is specified, invoke the command.
If the --command-key=KEY option is defined, invoke the command specified in [command]KEY.
If the ROSE_APP_COMMAND_KEY environment variable is set, the command specified in the [command]KEY setting in the application configuration whose KEY matches it is used.
If the environment variable ROSE_TASK_NAME is defined and a setting in the [command] section has a key matching the value of the environment variable, then the value of the setting is used as the command.
Invoke the command specified in [command]default.

Options

--app-mode=MODE       Run a command or builtin application identified by 
                      `MODE`. The default `MODE` is `command`.
-c KEY, --command-key=KEY
                      Run the command in [command]KEY instead of 
                      [command]default.
-C DIR, --config=DIR  Specify the configuration directory of the 
                      application.

                      If not specified, the current directory will be used.
-D [SECTION]KEY=VALUE, --define=[SECTION]KEY=VALUE
                      Each of these overrides the `[SECTION]KEY` setting 
                      with a given `VALUE`.

                      Can be used to disable a setting using the 
                      syntax`--define=[SECTION]!KEY` or even 
                      `--define=[!SECTION]`.
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-i, --install-only    Install files only, don't run the command.
-N, --new             Remove all items in `$PWD` before doing anything.

                      This option only works with the `--config=DIR` option 
                      and if `$PWD` is not `DIR`.
--no-overwrite        Do not overwrite existing files.
-O KEY, --opt-conf-key=KEY
                      Each of these switches on an optional configuration 
                      identified by `KEY`.

                      The configurations are applied first-to-last.

                      The `(KEY)` syntax denotes an optional configuration 
                      that can be missing. Otherwise, the optional  
                      configuration must exist.
--debug               Report trace back on error.
--profile             Switch on profiling.
-q, --quiet           Decrement verbosity.
-v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

--: Options and arguments after a -- token are passed directly to the diff tool.

Configuration

[external]diff-tool, [external]gdiff-tool

You can override the default non-graphical and graphical diff tools by setting e.g:

[external]
diff-tool=diff3
gdiff-tool=kompare

in your site or user Rose configuration (rose.conf).

[rose-config-diff]properties, [rose-config-diff]ignore{…}

You can override the default metadata properties to display by setting e.g:

[rose-config-diff]
properties=title,ns,description,help

in your site or user Rose configuration (rose.conf). You can also set shorthand ignore patterns by setting e.g.:

[rose-config-diff]
ignore{foo}=namelist:bar,namelist:baz

in the same location. This will allow you to run:

rose config-diff --ignore=foo ...

instead of:

rose config-diff --ignore=namelist:bar --ignore=namelist:baz ...

rose config-dump

Usage: rose config-dump [options]

Re-dump Rose configuration files in the common format.

Load and dump "rose-*.conf" files in place. Apply format-specific pretty-printing.

-q, --quiet           Decrement verbosity.
-v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

rose date

# 1. Print date time point
# 1.1 Current date time with an optional offset
rose date [--offset=OFFSET]
rose date now [--offset=OFFSET]
rose date ref [--offset=OFFSET]
# 1.2 Task cycle date time with an optional offset

# 2.4 Between task cycle time and now (+ OFFSET2)
#     Assume: export ROSE_TASK_CYCLE_TIME=20371225T000000Z
rose date -c ref now [--offset2=OFFSET2]
# 2.5 Between a date time in the past and the task cycle date time

rose date -c 19700101T000000Z ref
# 2.6 Between 2 specific date times
rose date 19700101T000000Z 20380119T031407Z

# 3.  Convert ISO8601 duration
# 3.1 Into the total number of hours (H), minutes (M) or seconds (S)
#     it represents, preceed negative durations with a double backslash
#     (e.g. \-PT1H)
rose date --as-total=s PT1H

Parse and print 1. a date time point or 2. a duration.

With 0 or 1 argument. Print the current or the specified date time point with an optional offset.
With 2 arguments. Print the duration between the 2 arguments.

Options

--as-total=TIME_FORMAT
    Used to express an ISO8601 duration in the specified time format,
    hours `H`, minutes `M` or seconds `S`.
--calendar=gregorian|360day|365day|366day
    Specify the calendar mode. See `CALENDAR MODE` below.
--offset1=OFFSET, --offset=OFFSET, -s OFFSET, -1 OFFSET
    Specify 1 or more offsets to add to argument 1 or the current time.
    See `OFFSET FORMAT` below.
--offset2=OFFSET, -2 OFFSET
    Specify 1 or more offsets to add to argument 2.
    See `OFFSET FORMAT` below.
--parse-format=FORMAT, -p FORMAT
    Specify a format for parsing `DATE-TIME`. See `PARSE FORMAT` below.
--print-format=FORMAT, --format=FORMAT, -f FORMAT
    Specify a format for printing the result. See `PRINT FORMAT` below.
--use-task-cycle-time, -c
    Use the value of the `ROSE_TASK_CYCLE_TIME` environment variable as
    the reference time instead of the current time.
--utc, -u
    Assume date time in UTC instead of local or other time zones.

Calendar mode

The calendar mode is determined (in order) by:

The --calendar=MODE option.
The ROSE_CYCLING_MODE or ISODATETIMECALENDAR environment variable.
(ROSE_CYCLING_MODE over-rides if both set)
Default to “gregorian”.

Environment variables

In both cases the ROSE.* variable will over-ride the ISODATETIME variable if both are set to ensure legacy behaviour for Rose.

ROSE_CYCLING_MODE/ISODATETIMECALENDAR=gregorian|360day|365day|366day: Specify the calendar mode.
ROSE_TASK_CYCLE_TIME/ISODATETIMEREF: Specify the current cycle time of a task in a suite. If the --use-task-cycle-time option is set, the value of this environment variable is used by the command as the reference time instead of the current time.

Offset format

OFFSET must follow the ISO 8601 duration representations such as PnW or PnYnMnDTnHnMnS - P followed by a series of nU where U is the unit (Y, M, D, H, M, S) and n is a positive integer, where T delimits the date series from the time series if any time units are used. n may also have a decimal (e.g. PT5.5M) part for a unit provided no smaller units are supplied. It is not necessary to specify zero values for units. If OFFSET is negative, prefix a -. For example:

P6D - 6 day offset
PT6H - 6 hour offset
PT1M - 1 minute offset
-PT1M - (negative) 1 minute offset
P3M - 3 month offset
P2W - 2 week offset (note no other units may be combined with weeks)
P2DT5.5H - 2 day, 5.5 hour offset
-P2YT4S - (negative) 2 year, 4 second offset

Parse format

The format for parsing a date time point should be compatible with the POSIX strptime template format (see the strptime command help), with the following subset supported across all date/time ranges:

%F, %H, %M, %S, %Y, %d, %j, %m, %s, %z

If not specified, the system will attempt to parse DATE-TIME using the following formats:

ctime: %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
Unix date: %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y
Basic ISO8601: %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S, %Y%m%dT%H%M%S
Cylc 5: %Y%m%d%H (deprecated)

If none of these match, the date time point will be parsed according to the full ISO 8601 date/time standard.

Print format

For printing a date time point, the print format will default to the same format as the parse format. Also supports the isodatetime library dump syntax for these operations which follows ISO 8601 example syntax - for example:

CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss -> 1955-11-05T09:28:00,
CCYY -> 1955,
CCYY-DDD -> 1955-309,
CCYY-Www-D -> 1955-W44-6.

Usage of this ISO 8601-like syntax should be as ISO 8601-compliant as possible.

Note that specifying an explicit timezone in this format (e.g. CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+0100 or CCYYDDDThhmmZ will automatically adapt the date/time to that timezone i.e. apply the correct hour/minute UTC offset.

For printing a duration, the following can be used in format statements:

y: years
m: months
d: days
h: hours
M: minutes
s: seconds

For example, for a duration P57DT12H - y,m,d,h -> 0,0,57,12

rose env-cat

Usage: rose env-cat [OPTIONS] [FILE ...]

Substitute environment variables in input files and print.

If no argument is specified, read from STDIN. One FILE argument may be -, which means read from STDIN.

In match-mode=default, the command will look for $NAME or ${NAME} syntax and substitute them with the value of the environment variable NAME. A backslash in front of the syntax, e.g. \$NAME or \${NAME} will escape the substitution.

In match-mode=brace, the command will look for ${NAME} syntax only.

Examples

rose env-cat [OPTIONS] [FILE ...]

Options

-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-m MODE, --match-mode=MODE
                      Specify the match mode.

                      can be `brace` or `default`.
-o FILE, --output=FILE
                      Specify an output file.

                      If no output file is specified or if `FILE`is `-`, 
                      write output to STDOUT.
--unbound=STRING, --undef=STRING
                      Substitute unbound variables with the provided STRING.

                      The command will normally fail on unbound (or 
                      undefined) variables.

                      If this option is specified, the command will 
                      substitute an unbound variable with the value of 
                      `STRING`, (which can be an empty string), instead of 
                      failing.
--debug               Report trace back on error.
--profile             Switch on profiling.
-q, --quiet           Decrement verbosity.
-v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

rose host-select

Usage: rose host-select [OPTIONS] [GROUP/HOST ...]

Select a host from a set of groups or names by load, by free memory or by random.

Print the selected host name.

Options

  --choice=N            Choose from any of the top N items.
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --rank-method=METHOD  Specify the method for ranking hosts.

                        Can be load, fs, mem or random.
  --threshold=METHOD:METHOD-ARG:NUMBER
                        Specify a threshold for excluding hosts.

                        Each of these option specifies a numeric value of a 
                        threshold of which the hosts must either not exceed or
                         must be greater than depending on the specified 
                        method.

                        Accepts the same `METHOD` and `METHOD-ARG` (and the 
                        same defaults) as the `--rank-method=METHOD[:METHOD-
                        ARG]` option. (Obviously, the `random` method does not
                         make sense in this case.) `load` and `fs` must not 
                        exceed threshold while `mem` must be greater than 
                        threshold. A host not meeting a threshold condition 
                        will be excluded from the ranking list.
  --timeout=FLOAT       Set the timeout in seconds of SSH commands to hosts.
  --debug               Report trace back on error.
  --profile             Switch on profiling.
  -q, --quiet           Decrement verbosity.
  -v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

RANKING METHODS IN DETAIL (--rank-method):
    `load`
        Rank by average load as reported by `uptime` divided by
        number of virtual processors.

        If `METHOD-ARG` is specified, it must be `1`, `5` or `15`.
        The default is to use the 15 minute load.
    `fs`
        Rank by % usage of a file system as reported by `df`.

        `METHOD-ARG` must be a valid file system in all the given
        hosts and host groups. The default is to use the `~`
        directory.
    `mem`
        Rank by largest amount of free memory. Uses `free -m` to
        return memory in Mb
    `random`
        No ranking is used.

Configuration

The command reads its settings from the [rose-host-select] section in the Rose configuration. All settings are optional. Type rose config rose-host-select to print settings.

Valid settings are:

default = GROUP/HOST …: The default arguments to use for this command.
group{NAME} = GROUP/HOST …: Declare a named group of hosts.
method{NAME} = METHOD[:METHOD-ARG]: Declare the default ranking method for a group of hosts.
thresholds{NAME} = [METHOD[:METHOD-ARG]:]VALUE …: Declare the default threshold(s) for a group of hosts.
timeout = FLOAT: Set the timeout in seconds of SSH commands to hosts. (default=10.0)

rose host-select-client

Internal command for obtaining information about hosts using the Python psutil module.

The names of psutil methods are passed to stdin along with any arguments as a JSON list.

Examples

    # return the virtual memory and cpu usage
    [["virtual_memory"], ["cpu_percent"]]

    # return disk usage for the filesystem mounted at "/"
    [["disk_usage", "/"]]

The input json should be preceded by 
**start**

and followed by 
**end**
 to avoid issues with user profile scripts
and stdin deadlock.

$ rose host-select-client <<'__HERE__'
> **start**
> [["virtual_memory"]]
> **end**
> __HERE__
[{"total": 17179869184, "available": 6276612096, "percent": 63.5, ...}]

rose macro

Usage: rose macro [OPTIONS] [MACRO_NAME ...]

Valid settings are:

launcher-list=LIST

Specify a list of launcher commands.

E.g:

launcher-list=poe mpiexec

launcher-fileopts.LAUNCHER=OPTION-TEMPLATE

                      Use optional Rose Config Setting (If Cylc-Rose is
                      installed)
-D DEFINES, --define=DEFINES
                      Each of these overrides the `[SECTION]KEY` setting in
                      a `rose-suite.conf` file. Can be used to disable a
                      setting using the syntax `--define=[SECTION]!KEY` or
                      even `--define=[!SECTION]`.
-S ROSE_TEMPLATE_VARS, --rose-template-variable=ROSE_TEMPLATE_VARS, --define-suite=ROSE_TEMPLATE_VARS
                      As `--define`, but with an implicit `[SECTION]` for

                      Install into ~/cylc-run/<WORKFLOW_NAME>/runN
--symlink-dirs=SYMLINK_DIRS
                      Enter a comma-delimited list, in the form
                      'log=path/to/store, share = $HOME/some/path, ...'. Use
                      this option to override the global.cylc configuration
                      for local symlinks for the run, log, work, share and
                      share/cycle directories. Enter an empty list '' to
                      skip making localhost symlink dirs.
-r RUN_NAME, --run-name=RUN_NAME
                      Give the run a custom name instead of automatically
                      numbering it.
--no-run-name         Install the workflow directly into ~/cylc-
                      run/<workflow_name>, without an automatic run number
                      or custom run name.
--no-ping             When scanning for active instances of the workflow, do

--comms-timeout=SEC   Set a timeout for network connections to the running
                      workflow. The default is no timeout. For task
                      messaging connections see site/user config file
                      documentation.

Rose Stem Specific Options:
  -t PATH/TO/FLOW, -g PATH/TO/FLOW, --task=PATH/TO/FLOW, --group=PATH/TO/FLOW
                      Specify a group name to run. Additional groups can be
                      specified with further `--group` arguments. The suite
                      will then convert the groups into a series of tasks to
                      run.
  -s PATH/TO/FLOW, --source=PATH/TO/FLOW
                      Specify a source tree to include in a rose-stem suite.
                      The first source tree must be a working copy, as the
                      location of the suite and fcm-make config files are
                      taken from it. Further source trees can be added with
                      additional `--source` arguments. The project which is
                      associated with a given source is normally
                      automatically determined using FCM, however the
                      project can be specified as '<project-name>=<project-
                      path>'. Defaults to `.` if not specified.

rose task-env

Usage: rose task-env [options]

Standard usage

eval $(rose task-env)

Provide an environment for cycling suite task.

Print KEY=VALUE of the following to the STDOUT:

ROSE_SUITE_DIR

The path to the root directory of the running suite.

ROSE_SUITE_DIR_REL

The path to the root directory of the running suite relative to $HOME.

ROSE_SUITE_NAME

The name of the running suite.

ROSE_TASK_NAME

The name of the suite task.

ROSE_TASK_CYCLE_TIME

The cycle time of the suite task, if there is one.

ROSE_CYCLING_MODE

The cycling mode of the running suite.

ROSE_TASK_LOG_ROOT

The root path for log files of the suite task.

ROSE_DATA

The path to the data directory of the running suite.

ROSE_DATAC

The path to the data directory of this cycle time in the running suite.

ROSE_DATAC????

The path to the data directory of the cycle time with an offset relative to the current cycle time. ???? is a duration:

A __ (double underscore) prefix denotes a cycle time in the future (because a minus sign cannot be used in an environment variable). Otherwise, it is a cycle time in the past.

The rest should be either an ISO 8601 duration, such as:

P2W - 2 weeks
PT12H - 12 hours
P1DT6H - 1 day, 6 hours
P4M - 4 months
PT5M - 5 minutes

Or, for the case of integer cycling suites:

P1 - 1 cycle before the current cycle
P5 - 5 cycles before the current cycle

Deprecated syntax:

nW denotes n weeks.
n or nD denotes n days.
Tn or TnH denotes n hours.
TnM denotes n minutes.
TnS denotes s seconds.

E.g. ROSE_DATACPT6H is the data directory of 6 hours before the current cycle time.

E.g. ROSE_DATACP1D and ROSE_DATACPT24H are both the data directory of 1 day before the current cycle time.

ROSE_ETC

The path to the etc directory of the running suite.

ROSE_TASK_PREFIX

The prefix in the task name.

ROSE_TASK_SUFFIX

The suffix in the task name.

Options

-t TIME, --cycle=TIME
                      Specify current cycle time.

                      If not defined, use the cycle time provided by the 
                      suite environment. `TIME` can be in an ISO date/time 
                      format, `CCYYMMDDhh` (deprecated) date/time format, or
                       a `TIME-DELTA` string described in the`--cycle-
                      offset=TIME-DELTA` option.
-T TIME-DELTA, --cycle-offset=TIME-DELTA
                      Specify one or more cycle offsets to determine what 
                      `ROSE_DATAC????` environment variables to export.

                      The `TIME-DELTA` argument uses the syntax explainedin 
                      the `ROSE_DATAC????` environment variable.

                      E.g. `--cycle-offset=PT3H --cycle-offset=PT6H` will 
                      tell `rose task-env` to export `ROSE_DATACPT3H` and 
                      `ROSE_DATACPT6H`.

                      NOTE: The main usage of this option is to reference a 
                      cycle time in the past, so a positive offset is used 
                      to go backward in time, and a negative offset is used 
                      to go forward in time.

                      E.g. `--cycle-offset=-PT3H` will tell `rose task-env` 
                      to export `ROSE_DATAC__PT3H` for `ROSE_DATAC` of 3 
                      hours ahead of the current cycle time.
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-P PATTERN, --path=PATTERN
                      Specify glob patterns for paths to prepend to an 
                      environment variable called `NAME` (or `PATH` if 
                      `NAME` is not specified).

                      Can be used multiple times.

                      If a relative path is given, it is relative to 
                      `$ROSE_SUITE_DIR`. An empty value resets the default 
                      and any previous `--path=PATTERN` settings.

                      (Default for `PATH` is `"share/fcm[_-]make*/*/bin"` 
                      and `"work/fcm[_-]make*/*/bin"`)
--prefix-delim=DELIMITER
                      Specify the delimiter used to determine the task name 
                      prefix. Default=`_`
--suffix-delim=DELIMITER
                      Specify the delimiter used to determine the task name 
                      suffix. (Default=`_`.
--debug               Report trace back on error.
--profile             Switch on profiling.
-q, --quiet           Decrement verbosity.
-v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

Usage in suites

rose task-env can be used to make environment variables available to a suite by defining its flow.cylc env-script option as env-script = eval $(rose task-env).

rose task-run

Usage: rose task-run [OPTIONS] [--] [APP-COMMAND ...]

Provide an environment to run a suite task.

Provides environment variables documented in rose task-env. It is worth noting that if the environment variables are already provided by rose task-env, this command will not override them.

Normally, the suite task will select a Rose application configuration that has the same name as the task. This can be overridden by the --app-key=KEY option or the ROSE_TASK_APP environment variable.

Short options

All options of rose app-run and rose task-env are supported. Additional options are:

--app-key=KEY: Specify a named application configuration.

                      [command]default.
-C DIR, --config=DIR  Specify the configuration directory of the 
                      application.

                      If not specified, the current directory will be used.
-t TIME, --cycle=TIME
                      Specify current cycle time.

                      If not defined, use the cycle time provided by the 
                      suite environment. `TIME` can be in an ISO date/time 
                      format, `CCYYMMDDhh` (deprecated) date/time format, or
                       a `TIME-DELTA` string described in the`--cycle-
                      offset=TIME-DELTA` option.
-T TIME-DELTA, --cycle-offset=TIME-DELTA
                      Specify one or more cycle offsets to determine what 
                      `ROSE_DATAC????` environment variables to export.

                      The `TIME-DELTA` argument uses the syntax explainedin 
                      the `ROSE_DATAC????` environment variable.

                      E.g. `--cycle-offset=PT3H --cycle-offset=PT6H` will 
                      tell `rose task-env` to export `ROSE_DATACPT3H` and 
                      `ROSE_DATACPT6H`.

                      NOTE: The main usage of this option is to reference a 
                      cycle time in the past, so a positive offset is used 
                      to go backward in time, and a negative offset is used 
                      to go forward in time.

                      E.g. `--cycle-offset=-PT3H` will tell `rose task-env` 
                      to export `ROSE_DATAC__PT3H` for `ROSE_DATAC` of 3 
                      hours ahead of the current cycle time.
-D [SECTION]KEY=VALUE, --define=[SECTION]KEY=VALUE
                      Each of these overrides the `[SECTION]KEY` setting 
                      with a given `VALUE`.

                      Can be used to disable a setting using the 
                      syntax`--define=[SECTION]!KEY` or even 
                      `--define=[!SECTION]`.
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-i, --install-only    Install files only, don't run the command.
-N, --new             Remove all items in `$PWD` before doing anything.

                      This option only works with the `--config=DIR` option 
                      and if `$PWD` is not `DIR`.
--no-overwrite        Do not overwrite existing files.
-O KEY, --opt-conf-key=KEY
                      Each of these switches on an optional configuration 
                      identified by `KEY`.

                      The configurations are applied first-to-last.

                      The `(KEY)` syntax denotes an optional configuration 
                      that can be missing. Otherwise, the optional  
                      configuration must exist.
-P PATTERN, --path=PATTERN
                      Specify glob patterns for paths to prepend to an 
                      environment variable called `NAME` (or `PATH` if 
                      `NAME` is not specified).

                      Can be used multiple times.

                      If a relative path is given, it is relative to 
                      `$ROSE_SUITE_DIR`. An empty value resets the default 
                      and any previous `--path=PATTERN` settings.

                      (Default for `PATH` is `"share/fcm[_-]make*/*/bin"` 
                      and `"work/fcm[_-]make*/*/bin"`)
--prefix-delim=DELIMITER
                      Specify the delimiter used to determine the task name 
                      prefix. Default=`_`
--suffix-delim=DELIMITER
                      Specify the delimiter used to determine the task name 
                      suffix. (Default=`_`.
--debug               Report trace back on error.
--profile             Switch on profiling.
-q, --quiet           Decrement verbosity.
-v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

Environment variables

All environment variables of rose app-run and rose task-env are supported. All environment variables documented in rose task-env are passed to the application rose task-run runs. The following environment variables are used by rose task-run:

ROSE_TASK_APP: Specify a named application configuration.

rose tutorial

# Print list of available suites.
rose tutorial
# Copy SUITE to DIR (defaults to ~/cylc-run/SUITE).
rose tutorial SUITE [DIR]

Make a copy of one of the tutorial SUITE in the cylc-run directory.

rose config-edit

Warning

The Rose Edit GUI has not yet been reimplemented in Rose 2.

The old Rose 2019 (Python 2) GUI remains compatible with Rose 2 configurations.

rose suite-run

rose suite-restart

This command has been replaced by cylc play.

etc/bin/rose-test-battery

$ROSE_DEVELOPER_DIR/etc/bin/rose-test-battery

Run Rose self tests.

n.b. This will only work where a developer has downloaded and installed their own copy of Rose using pip install -e .

Change directory to Rose source tree, and runs this shell command:

exec prove -j "$NPROC" -s -r "${@:-t}"

where NPROC is the number of processors on your computer (or the setting [t]prove-options in the site/user configuration file). If you do not want to run the full test suite, you can specify the names of individual test files or their containing directories as extra arguments.

EXAMPLES

# Run the full test suite with the default options.
rose test-battery
# Run the full test suite with 12 processes.
rose test-battery -j 12
# Run only tests under "t/rose-app-run/" with 12 processes.
rose test-battery -j 12 t/rose-app-run
# Run only "t/rose-app-run/07-opt.t" in verbose mode.
rose test-battery -v t/rose-app-run/07-opt.t

Rosie Commands

rosie checkout

Usage: rosie checkout [OPTIONS] ID ...

Checkout local copies of suites.

For each ID in the argument list, checkout a working copy of the suite identified by ID to the standard location.

Options

-f, --force    If working copy for suite identified by `ID` already exists, 
               remove it. Continue to the next `ID` if checkout of a suite 
               fails.
-h, --help     show this help message and exit
--debug        Report trace back on error.
--profile      Switch on profiling.
-q, --quiet    Decrement verbosity.
-v, --verbose  Increment verbosity.

rosie create

Usage: rosie create [OPTIONS]

    rosie copy [OPTIONS] ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE

rosie create: Create a new suite rosie copy : Create a new suite and copy content from an existing one.

Assign a new ID and create the directory structure in the central repository for a new suite.

The location of the repository for the new suite is determined in order of preference:

--prefix=PREFIX option
prefix of the ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE
[rosie-id]prefix-default option in the site/user configuration.

If ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE is specified, copy items from the existing suite ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE when the suite is created. It is worth noting that revision history of the copied items can only be preserved if ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE is in the same repository of the new suite

The syntax of the ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE is PREFIX-xxNNN[/BRANCH][@REV] (e.g. my-su173, my-su173/trunk, my-su173/trunk@HEAD). If REV is not specified, the last changed revision of the branch is used. If BRANCH is not specified, “trunk” is used.

NOTE: ID-OF-EXISTING-SUITE is _not_ a filepath.

--info-file=FILE      Specify the discovery information file.

                      If `FILE` is `-`, read from STDIN. The default 
                      behaviour is to open an editor to add suite discovery 
                      information.
--meta-suite          (Admin-only) Create the special suite in the 
                      repository containing discovery metadata and known 
                      keys.
--no-checkout         Do not checkout a working copy of the newly created 
                      suite. Default is to checkout.

                      Switch off interactive prompting.
--prefix=PREFIX       Specify the name of the suite repository.
--project=PROJECT     Create using project metadata.

                      Specify a project to check/query any available 
                      metadata. The default behaviour is to use noproject 
                      and metadata.
--debug               Report trace back on error.
--profile             Switch on profiling.

Delete the suite directory structure from the HEAD of the central repository matching the ID.

If no ID is specified and $PWD is a working copy of a suite, use the ID of the suite in the working copy.

Options

-f, --force           Remove working copies even if there are uncommitted 
                      changes.

                      Continue with the next `ID` if delete of a suite 
                      fails.
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
--local-only          Delete only the local copy of a suite.
-y, --non-interactive, --yes
                      Switch off interactive prompting.
--debug               Report trace back on error.

-v, --verbose         Increment verbosity.

rosie graph

Usage: rosie graph [OPTIONS] [ID]

Graph suite copy ancestry.

Options

-d DISTANCE, --distance=DISTANCE
                      The maximum distance (graph depth) for suites related 
                      to `ID` to be plotted. For example, if the distance is
                       1, only the parents and children (but not siblings) 
                      of`ID` will be plotted.  If not given, this is 
                      unlimited.Requires `ID` to be specified.
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-o FILE, --output=FILE
                      The name of the file for dumping the output.

                      Otherwise, the output will go to a temporary file 
                      which will get tidied up.

                      The extension of the filename determines the output 
                      format - see graphviz AGraph.draw documentation.
--prefix=PREFIX       Specify the name of the suite repository.
-p PROPERTY, --property=PROPERTY
                      Specify a property.
--text                Print graph in text format

                      Prints parent and child suites of a suite `ID`.

                      For example, for a suite "bar" you may get 
                      resultslike:

                      * `[parent] foo`

                      * `[child1] baz`

                      * `[child1] qux`

                      * `[child2] quux`

                      * `[child3] corge`

                      where "foo" is the parent of "bar", "baz" and "qux" 
                      its first generation children, "quux" its second 
                      generation child and "corge" its third generation 
                      child.

                      Also supports use of the `--property` option for 
                      producing output. Requires `ID` to be specified.
--debug               Report trace back on error.

rosie lookup

Usage: rosie lookup [OPTIONS] LOOKUP-TEXT ...

Find suites in the suite discovery database.

Search for suites using an address, a query or search words and display the information of the matching suites.

Unless an option is used to specify the initial search type the argument is interpreted as follows:

A string beginning with “http”: an address
A string not beginning with “http”: search words

An address URL may contain shell meta characters, so remember to put it in quotes.

The default output format includes a local working copy status field (%local) in the first column.

A blank field means there is no related suite checked out.
= means that the suite is checked out at this branch and revision.
< means that the suite is checked out but at an older revision.
> means that the suite is checked out but at a newer revision.
S means that the suite is checked out but on a different branch.
M means that the suite is checked out and modified.
X means that the suite is checked out but is corrupted.

Search strings may contain SQL wildcard characters. E.g:

% (percent) is a substitute for zero or more characters.
_ (underscore) is a substitute for a single character.
