Bvfs API

To help developers of restore GUI interfaces, we have added new dot commands that permit browsing the catalog in a very simple way.

• .bvfs_update [jobid=x,y,z] This command is required to update the Bvfs cache in the catalog. You need to run it before any access to the Bvfs layer.

• .bvfs_lsdirs jobid=x,y,z path=/path | pathid=101 This command will list all directories in the specified path or pathid. Using pathid avoids problems with character encoding of path/filenames.

• .bvfs_lsfiles jobid=x,y,z path=/path | pathid=101 This command will list all files in the specified path or pathid. Using pathid avoids problems with character encoding.

You can use limit=xxx and offset=yyy to limit the amount of data that will be displayed.

* .bvfs_update jobid=1,2
* .bvfs_update
* .bvfs_lsdir path=/ jobid=1,2
