The CLI command :code:`alter` enables the manipulation of node attributes in
an ecFlow suite, namely it allows to:
- add new node attributes
- remove existing node attributes
- update some characteristics of existing node attributes
- set/clear node flags
- sort node attributes
The arguments to the :code:`alter` command are specified as a sequence of space
separated options:
.. code-block:: shell
ecflow_client --alter <operation> <type> <name> <value> <path>
where
- :code:`<operation>`, determines what operation is performed (one of :code:`delete`, :code:`change`, :code:`add`, :code:`set_flag`, :code:`clear_flag`, or :code:`sort`)
- :code:`<type>`, specifies which type of attribute is being manipulated (the list of types possible depends on the type of command selected previously)
- :code:`<name>`, is the name of the attribute being manipulated (in the case where the attribute is unnamed, e.g. Repeat, Complete, Trigger, this option should be omitted)
- :code:`<value>`, is the value to be used in the operation (this option is not required for all commands, e.g. when deleting an attribute)
- :code:`<path> (<path> (...))`, one or more paths to the nodes where the operation is to be performed
See more details about each argument in the next section.
