+=======================================
+ rados -- rados object storage utility
+=======================================
+
+.. program:: rados
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **rados** [ *options* ] [ *command* ]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**rados** is a utility for interacting with a Ceph object storage
+cluster (RADOS), part of the Ceph distributed storage system.
+
+
+Options
+=======
+
+.. option:: -p pool, --pool pool
+
+ Interact with the given pool. Required by most commands.
+
+.. option:: --pgid
+
+ As an alternative to ``--pool``, ``--pgid`` also allow users to specify the
+ PG id to which the command will be directed. With this option, certain
+ commands like ``ls`` allow users to limit the scope of the command to the given PG.
+
+.. option:: -N namespace, --namespace namespace
+
+ Specify the rados namespace to use for the object.
+
+.. option:: -s snap, --snap snap
+
+ Read from the given pool snapshot. Valid for all pool-specific read operations.
+
+.. option:: -i infile
+
+ will specify an input file to be passed along as a payload with the
+ command to the monitor cluster. This is only used for specific
+ monitor commands.
+
+.. option:: -o outfile
+
+ will write any payload returned by the monitor cluster with its
+ reply to outfile. Only specific monitor commands (e.g. osd getmap)
+ return a payload.
+
+.. option:: -c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
+
+ Use ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default
+ /etc/ceph/ceph.conf to determine monitor addresses during startup.
+
+.. option:: -m monaddress[:port]
+
+ Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ceph.conf).
+
+.. option:: -b block_size
+
+ Set the block size for put/get/append ops and for write benchmarking.
+
+.. option:: --striper
+
+ Uses the striping API of rados rather than the default one.
+ Available for stat, stat2, get, put, append, truncate, rm, ls
+ and all xattr related operation
+
+.. option:: -O object_size
+
+ Set the object size for put/get ops and for write benchmarking
+
+
+Global commands
+===============
+
+:command:`lspools`
+ List object pools
+
+:command:`df`
+ Show utilization statistics, including disk usage (bytes) and object
+ counts, over the entire system and broken down by pool.
+
+:command:`list-inconsistent-pg` *pool*
+ List inconsistent PGs in given pool.
+
+:command:`list-inconsistent-obj` *pgid*
+ List inconsistent objects in given PG.
+
+:command:`list-inconsistent-snapset` *pgid*
+ List inconsistent snapsets in given PG.
+
+
+Pool specific commands
+======================
+
+:command:`get` *name* *outfile*
+ Read object name from the cluster and write it to outfile.
+
+:command:`put` *name* *infile* [--offset offset]
+ Write object name with start offset (default:0) to the cluster with contents from infile.
+ **Warning:** The put command creates a single RADOS object, sized just as
+ large as your input file. Unless your objects are of reasonable and consistent sizes, that
+ is probably not what you want -- consider using RGW/S3, CephFS, or RBD instead.
+
+:command:`append` *name* *infile*
+ Append object name to the cluster with contents from infile.
+
+:command:`rm` *name*
+ Remove object name.
+
+:command:`listwatchers` *name*
+ List the watchers of object name.
+
+:command:`ls` *outfile*
+ List objects in the given pool and write to outfile. Instead of ``--pool`` if ``--pgid`` will be specified, ``ls`` will only list the objects in the given PG.
+
+:command:`lssnap`
+ List snapshots for given pool.
+
+:command:`clonedata` *srcname* *dstname* --object-locator *key*
+ Clone object byte data from *srcname* to *dstname*. Both objects must be stored with the locator key *key* (usually either *srcname* or *dstname*). Object attributes and omap keys are not copied or cloned.
+
+:command:`mksnap` *foo*
+ Create pool snapshot named *foo*.
+
+:command:`rmsnap` *foo*
+ Remove pool snapshot named *foo*.
+
+:command:`bench` *seconds* *mode* [ -b *objsize* ] [ -t *threads* ]
+ Benchmark for *seconds*. The mode can be *write*, *seq*, or
+ *rand*. *seq* and *rand* are read benchmarks, either
+ sequential or random. Before running one of the reading benchmarks,
+ run a write benchmark with the *--no-cleanup* option. The default
+ object size is 4 MB, and the default number of simulated threads
+ (parallel writes) is 16. The *--run-name <label>* option is useful
+ for benchmarking a workload test from multiple clients. The *<label>*
+ is an arbitrary object name. It is "benchmark_last_metadata" by
+ default, and is used as the underlying object name for "read" and
+ "write" ops.
+ Note: -b *objsize* option is valid only in *write* mode.
+ Note: *write* and *seq* must be run on the same host otherwise the
+ objects created by *write* will have names that will fail *seq*.
+
+:command:`cleanup` [ --run-name *run_name* ] [ --prefix *prefix* ]
+ Clean up a previous benchmark operation.
+ Note: the default run-name is "benchmark_last_metadata"
+
+:command:`listxattr` *name*
+ List all extended attributes of an object.
+
+:command:`getxattr` *name* *attr*
+ Dump the extended attribute value of *attr* of an object.
+
+:command:`setxattr` *name* *attr* *value*
+ Set the value of *attr* in the extended attributes of an object.
+
+:command:`rmxattr` *name* *attr*
+ Remove *attr* from the extended attributes of an object.
+
+:command:`stat` *name*
+ Get stat (ie. mtime, size) of given object
+
+:command:`stat2` *name*
+ Get stat (similar to stat, but with high precision time) of given object
+
+:command:`listomapkeys` *name*
+ List all the keys stored in the object map of object name.
+
+:command:`listomapvals` *name*
+ List all key/value pairs stored in the object map of object name.
+ The values are dumped in hexadecimal.
+
+:command:`getomapval` [ --omap-key-file *file* ] *name* *key* [ *out-file* ]
+ Dump the hexadecimal value of key in the object map of object name.
+ If the optional *out-file* argument is not provided, the value will be
+ written to standard output.
+
+:command:`setomapval` [ --omap-key-file *file* ] *name* *key* [ *value* ]
+ Set the value of key in the object map of object name. If the optional
+ *value* argument is not provided, the value will be read from standard
+ input.
+
+:command:`rmomapkey` [ --omap-key-file *file* ] *name* *key*
+ Remove key from the object map of object name.
+
+:command:`getomapheader` *name*
+ Dump the hexadecimal value of the object map header of object name.
+
+:command:`setomapheader` *name* *value*
+ Set the value of the object map header of object name.
+
+:command:`export` *filename*
+ Serialize pool contents to a file or standard output.\n"
+
+:command:`import` [--dry-run] [--no-overwrite] < filename | - >
+ Load pool contents from a file or standard input
+
