CTERA SDK CLI#

The CTERA Python SDK includes a set of built-in executable commands that are installed automatically as part of the SDK package. These commands provide direct access to common SDK functionality through a command-line interface.

The following page describes the supported CLI commands and their usage.

CTERA Direct/IO Download#

The cterasdk.io.direct.download command downloads a file using CTERA Direct I/O.
