xdinfo
runs on any computer that can communicate via the internet with http://info.xsede.org/, and is designed to run on any Unix, Mac, or Windows computer with a basic Perl installation.

everywhere else, such as your laptop, desktop, or on any computer where you have shell access, download it from here: http://software.xsede.org/production/xdinfo/latest/.
Command Syntax & Examples
The basic xdinfo
command syntax is:
xdinfo information_type [match_string] [options]
Use "xdinfo help
" to see some "information_type
" and "match_string
" examples. Various options follow.
Selecting resources
The "on match_string
" command line option filters information by resource:
$ xdinfo gridftp on stampede $ xdinfo gridftp on gordon
The "at match_string
" command-line option limits information discovery by site (SDSC in this example):
$ xdinfo gridftp at sdsc
The "local
" command-line option limits information by local resource (determined by xdresourceid
tool).
$ xdinfo local gridftp
The "global
" command line option displays information about all resources.
$ xdinfo global
