Mark Logic Command: list
Lists all documents in a Mark Logic serverSynopsis
list [options] [directory ...]Description
Lists documents residing on a Mark Logic server and outputs to stdout.With no directory arguement it lists all documents. This might exceed the server's memory.
With directory arguments then the list is constrained to documents in that directory.
| -c,-connect uri | Use the connection string instead of $MLCONNECT |
| -r | recurse |
| directory | Optional directory to list |
Example
Assuming the prefix "ml" is imported as the marklogic module, prints to stdout (one uri per line) all the documents in the database.ml:list
This can produce a very large output as it includes ALL documents in the database.
To limit documents to a single directory use
ml:list /Dir/
Implementation
list is implemented as a simple xsh script which simply calls query. The source of the script is
# list
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
:query -q 'collection()/base-uri()'
elif [ "$1" = "-r" ] ; then
shift ;
for dir in $* ; do
:query -q <{{
declare variable $dir external;
for $d in xdmp:directory($dir,"infinity")/base-uri()
order by $d
return $d
}}> -v dir $dir
done
else
for dir in $* ; do
:query -q <{{
declare variable $dir external;
for $d in xdmp:directory($dir)/base-uri()
order by $d
return $d
}}> -v dir $dir
done
