Commands

A number of useful tools are installed with datadings. These will be accessible on the command line as datadings-* where * is replaced with one of the submodule names.

The main tool to interact with datadings in this way is datadings-write. It finds available datasets and runs their writing scripts.

These are the available tools:

• datadings-write creates new dataset files.

• datadings-cat prints the (abbreviated) contents of a dataset file.

• datadings-shuffle shuffles an existing dataset file.

• datadings-merge merges two or more dataset files.

• datadings-split splits a dataset file into two or more subsets.

• datadings-bench runs some basic read performance benchmarks.

You can either call them directly or run them as modules with python -m datadings.commands.*, again with star replaced by the name the command, e.g., write. “””
