md_status¶

md_status program provides information about machine description of specified shot and run number from machine description database. It show status and potential parent and children for a given simulation stored in ITER machine description database folder. It helps to see when particular machine description information become outdated and which one is in active state.

Syntax md_status¶

$ md_status -h
Usage: md_status [-h] [-f FOLDER] -s SHOT -r RUN

---- Show status and potential parent and children for a given simulation stored in ITER
        machine description database folder

Important: The legacy md_status tool is deprecated and will be
        removed in a future versions. It will remain available until simdb is fully adopted.

  -f, --folder FOLDER   folder where to search for machine description data
  -s, --shot SHOT       shot number
