mdata-list -- Fetch the list of available metadata key-value pairs.
Contents
Description
The mdata-list command allows the user (or a script) to query the metadata for a guest instance running
in a SmartDataCenter(SDC) cloud. Metadata values are generally set programmatically via CloudAPI, or
during interactive provisioning via a Web Portal. They may also be set from within the instance with the
mdata-put command. The value of a key-value pair may be obtained by passing its name to the mdata-get
command.
The list of all customer-provided metadata key-value pairs will be printed to stdout. If the metadata
service is unavailable at the time of the request, this command will block waiting for it to become
available. Non-transient failures will cause the program to exit with a non-zero status. Depending on
the nature of the error, some diagnostic output may be printed to stderr.
Exit Status
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
The list of key-value pairs was emitted to stdout.
2
An error occurred.
An unexpected error condition occurred, which is believed to be a non-transient condition. Retrying
the request is not expected to resolve the error condition; either a software bug or
misconfiguration exists.
3
A usage error occurred.
Malformed arguments were passed to the program. Check the usage instructions to ensure valid
arguments are supplied.
