PROGRAM:
NAME
mdata-get -- Fetch the value of a metadata key-value pair.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mdata-get keyname
DESCRIPTION
The mdata-get command allows the user (or a script) to query the metadata for a guest
instance running in a SmartDataCenter (SDC) cloud. Metadata values are generally set
programmatically via CloudAPI, or during interactive provisioning via a Web Portal. They
may also be set from within the instance with the mdata-put command.
The value of the requested keyname will be printed to stdout. If the metadata service is
unavailable at the time of the request, this command will block waiting for it to become
available. Non-transient failures, such as the non-existence of the requested keyname,
will cause the program to exit with a non-zero status. Depending on the nature of the
error, some diagnostic output may be printed to stderr.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
The requested keyname was available, and its value was emitted to stdout.
1
Metadata value not found.
The requested keyname was not found in the metadata.
2
An error occurred.
An unexpected error condition occurred, which is believed to be a non-transient
condition. Retrying the request is not expected to resolve the error condition;
either a software bug or misconfiguration exists.
3
A usage error occurred.
Malformed arguments were passed to the program. Check the usage instructions to
ensure valid arguments are supplied.
