 \fBdatalad\-get\fR [--version] [-h] [-l LEVEL] [-p {condor}] [-s LABEL] [-d PATH]

.SH DESCRIPTION
Get any dataset content (files/directories/subdatasets).
.br

.br
This command only operates on dataset content. To obtain a new independent
.br
dataset from some source use the INSTALL command.
.br

.br
By default this command operates recursively within a dataset, but not
.br
across potential subdatasets, i.e. if a directory is provided, all files in
.br
the directory are obtained. Recursion into subdatasets is supported too. If
.br
enabled, relevant subdatasets are detected and installed in order to
.br
fulfill a request.
.br

.br
Known data locations for each requested file are evaluated and data are
.br
obtained from some available location (according to git\-annex configuration
.br
and possibly assigned remote priorities), unless a specific source is
.br
specified.
.br

.br
NOTE
.br
  Power\-user info: This command uses git annex get to fulfill
.br
  file handles.
.SH OPTIONS
  PATH                  path/name of the requested dataset component. The
                        component must already be known to a dataset. To add
                        new components to a dataset use the ADD command.
                        Constraints: value must be a string

  \fB--version\fR       show the program's version and license information
  \fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR, \fB--help-np\fR
                        show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables
                        the use of a pager for displaying the help message
  \fB-l\fR LEVEL, \fB--log-level\fR LEVEL
                        set logging verbosity level. Choose among critical,
                        error, warning, info, debug. Also you can specify an
                        integer <10 to provide even more debugging information
  \fB-p\fR {condor}, \fB--pbs-runner\fR {condor}
                        execute command by scheduling it via available PBS.
                        For settings, config file will be consulted
  \fB-s\fR LABEL, \fB--source\fR LABEL
                        label of the data source to be used to fulfill
                        requests. This can be the name of a dataset sibling or
                        another known source. Constraints: value must be a
                        string [Default: None]
  \fB-d\fR PATH, \fB--dataset\fR PATH
                        specify the dataset to perform the add operation on,
                        in which case PATH arguments are interpreted as being
                        relative to this dataset. If no dataset is given, an
                        attempt is made to identify a dataset for each input
                        PATH. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid
                        identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path) [Default: None]
  \fB-r\fR, \fB--recursive\fR
                        if set, recurse into potential subdataset. [Default:
                        False]
  \fB--recursion-limit\fR LEVELS
                        limit recursion into subdataset to the given number of
                        levels. Alternatively, 'existing' will limit recursion
                        to subdatasets that already existed on the filesystem
                        at the start of processing, and prevent new
                        subdatasets from being obtained recursively.
                        Constraints: value must be convertible to type 'int',
                        or value must be one of ('existing',) [Default: None]
  \fB-n\fR, \fB--no-data\fR
                        whether to obtain data for all file handles. If
                        disabled, GET operations are limited to dataset
                        handles. This option prevents data for file handles
                        from being obtained. [Default: True]
  \fB--reckless\fR      Set up the dataset to be able to obtain content in the
                        cheapest/fastest possible way, even if this poses a
                        potential risk the data integrity (e.g. hardlink files
                        from a local clone of the dataset). Use with care, and
                        limit to "read-only" use cases. With this flag the
                        installed dataset will be marked as untrusted.
                        [Default: False]
  \fB--git-opts\fR STRING
                        option string to be passed to git calls. Constraints:
                        value must be a string [Default: None]
  \fB--annex-opts\fR STRING
                        option string to be passed to git annex calls.
                        Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None]
  \fB--annex-get-opts\fR STRING
                        option string to be passed to git annex get calls.
                        Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None]
  \fB-J\fR NJOBS, \fB--jobs\fR NJOBS
                        how many parallel jobs (where possible) to use.
                        Constraints: value must be convertible to type 'int'
                        [Default: None]
  \fB-v\fR, \fB--verbose\fR
                        print out more detailed information while executing a
                        command. [Default: False]
