About the info entry point

The info entry point enables agents to obtain information about an online resource. For example, the Mount agent's info entry point could be used to report on space available in the file system. All information the info entry point collects is stored in the "temp" attribute ResourceInfo.

See About the ResourceInfo attribute.

See the Administrator's Guide for information about "temp" attributes.

The entry point can optionally modify a resource's ResourceInfo attribute by adding or updating other name-value pairs using the following commands:

hares -modify res ResourceInfo -add key value

or

hares -modify res ResourceInfo -update key value

Refer to the hares manual page for more information on modifying values of string-association attributes.

See About the ResourceInfo attribute.
