HSI is a command driven interface to the HPSS Mass Storage System.

HSI can accept input several different ways:

 From a command line.     Example: hsi
 Single line execution.   Example: hsi "mkdir foo; cd foo; put data_file"
 From a command file.     Example: hsi "in command_file"

HSI can read from standard input and write to standard output. Command line example:

 tar cvf - . | hsi put - : data.tar
 hsi get - : data.tar | tar xvf -

Interactive example:

 put "|tar cvf - *.c"  : data.tar
 get "|tar xvf -" : data.tar

WARNING: For 'get' and 'put' operations, HSI uses a different syntax

than FTP to identify the local file name.  The syntax uses a ':' to
identify the local file name.  See section 5.8 of the online documentation
for details.  Example:  put local_file : hpss_file

Recursive operations are allowed for the following commands:

cget, chgrp, chmod, chown, cput, delete, get, ls, mdelete, mget,
migrate, mput, purge, put, rm, stage, touch

Wildcards are supported. See section 5.9 of the online documentation.
