GRID-QUERY(1) GRID-QUERY(1)
NAME
grid: query - graphical interface to view resources
registered with a known registry(4)
SYNOPSIS
grid/query
DESCRIPTION
Query displays the resources currently registered with a
given registry(4) and allows the user to mount and browse
through the namespaces they provide.
Resource categories are displayed in the main window, open-
ing any of these (by clicking on the '+' next to the name)
will reveal the names of the individual resources within
that category. Each resource has a set of attributes which
may be viewed at the lowest level of the displayed tree.
Clicking on a specific resource and clicking the Mount but-
ton that appears will mount that resource (if possible) and
display the imported namespace in a new window. From this
window, the user can then browse this namespace as well as
opening and running files. A shell window may also be opened
to allow more complicated tasks to be performed.
Clicking Search brings up a search window. Here, the current
registry(4) may be searched for a resource containing the
specified attribute names and values. Refresh updates the
list of resources in the main window in case any have been
added or removed.

BUGS
Currently, searching for a resource on a registry(4) is only
implemented in a very simple way. Given the attribute (name,
value) pairs, the search will return all resources whose
attributes exactly match the specified values. * may be
used to match any attribute value but not name.
