3.6. lfc-checkout: Check out a large file from cache

This function first finds one or more files that match at least one of the file name patterns given by the user. The goal is to find .lfc files, since the original large files are not expected to exist. Then for each such file, it will try to copy a file from the local cache based on the hash in the .lfc file.

Usage:
$ lfc checkout FILE1 [FILE2 ...] [OPTIONS]
Inputs:
  • FILE1: First file name or file name pattern

  • FILE2: Second file name or file name pattern

Options:
-h, --help

Display this help message and exit

-f, --force

Overwrite existing large file even if uncached
