  --wait      Wait for the object(s) to close

usage: dx wait [-h] [--env-help] [--from-file] path [path ...]
​
Polls the state of specified data object(s) or job(s) until they are all in
the desired state. Waits until the "closed" state for a data object, and for
any terminal state for a job ("terminated", "failed", or "done"). Exits with a
non-zero code if a job reaches a terminal state that is not "done". Can also
provide a local file containing a list of data object(s) or job(s), one per
line; the file will be read if "--from-file" argument is added.

              [-f]
              path
​
Download the contents of some types of data (records, apps, applets,
workflows, files, and databases). Downloading an app, applet or a workflow
will attempt to reconstruct a source directory that can be used to rebuild it
with "dx build". Use "-o -" to direct the output to stdout.
​
positional arguments:
  path                  Data object ID or name to access
​

                        local file path where the data is to be saved ("-"
                        indicates stdout output for objects of class file and
                        record). If not supplied, the object's name on the
                        platform will be used, along with any applicable
                        extensions. For app(let) and workflow objects, if
                        OUTPUT does not exist, the object's source directory
                        will be created there; if OUTPUT is an existing
                        directory, a new directory with the object's name will
                        be created inside it.

                        folder to be downloaded. If omitted, all files in the
                        database will be downloaded, so use caution and
                        include the --allow-all-files argument.
  --allow-all-files     When downloading from a database, this allows all
                        files in a database to be downloaded when --filename
                        argument is omitted.
  --recurse             When downloading from a database, look for files
                        recursively down the directory structure. Otherwise,
                        by default, only look on one level.
  --no-ext              If -o is not provided, do not add an extension to the
                        filename
  --omit-resources      When downloading an app(let), omit fetching the
                        resources associated with the app(let).
  -f, --overwrite       Overwrite the local file if necessary

generate a skeleton directory of an app/applet with the necessary files.
​
positional arguments:
  src_dir               App, applet, or workflow source directory (default:
                        current directory)
​
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --env-help            Display help message for overriding environment
                        variables

  --ensure-upload       If specified, will bypass computing checksum of
                        resources directory and upload it unconditionally; by
                        default, will compute checksum and upload only if it
                        differs from a previously uploaded resources bundle.
  --force-symlinks      If specified, will not attempt to dereference symbolic
                        links pointing outside of the resource directory. By
                        default, any symlinks within the resource directory
                        are kept as links while links to files outside the
                        resource directory are dereferenced (note that links
                        to directories outside of the resource directory will
                        cause an error).

                        app(let) that would have been created.
  --remote              Build the app remotely by uploading the source
                        directory to the DNAnexus Platform and building it
                        there. This option is useful if you would otherwise
                        need to cross-compile the app(let) to target the
                        Execution Environment.

                        is to add it if it would otherwise be absent from the
                        runSpec)
  --no-parallel-build   Build with make instead of make -jN.
  --extra-args EXTRA_ARGS
                        Arguments (in JSON format) to pass to the /applet/new
                        API method, overriding all other settings
  --run ...             Run the app or applet after building it (options
                        following this are passed to dx run; run at high
                        priority by default)

                        Only attempt to create the version number supplied in
                        the manifest (that is, do not try to create an
                        autonumbered version such as 1.2.3+git.ab1b1c1d if
                        1.2.3 already exists and is published).
  --no-update           Never update an existing unpublished app in place.
  -y, --yes             Do not ask for confirmation for potentially dangerous
                        operations
  --region REGION       Enable the app in this region. This flag can be
                        specified multiple times to enable the app in multiple
                        regions. If --region is not specified, then the
                        enabled region(s) will be determined by
                        'regionalOptions' in dxapp.json, or the project
                        context.
​
options for creating applets or workflows:

                        reuse should be disabled, if a stage points to another
                        (nested) workflow the ignore reuse option will be
                        applied to the whole subworkflow. This option
                        overwrites any ignoreReuse fields set on app(let)s or
                        the workflow during build time; repeat as necessary
  --rerun-stage STAGE_ID

  --input-help          Print help and examples for how to specify inputs
  --detach              When invoked from a job, detaches the new job from the
                        creator job so the new job will appear as a typical
                        root execution. Setting DX_RUN_DETACH environment
                        variable to 1 causes this option to be set by default.

Help: Specifying input for dx run
​
There are several ways to specify inputs.  In decreasing order of precedence,
they are:
​
  1) inputs given in the interactive mode
  2) inputs listed individually with the -i/--input command line argument
  3) JSON given in --input-json
  4) JSON given in --input-json-file
  5) if cloning a job with --clone, the input that the job was run with
     (this will get overridden completely if -j/--input-json or
      -f/--input-json-file are provided)
  6) default values set in a workflow or an executable's input spec
​
SPECIFYING INPUTS BY NAME
​
  Use the -i/--input flag to specify each input field by name and value.
​
    Syntax :  -i<input name>=<input value>
    Example:  dx run myApp -inum=34 -istr=ABC -ifiles=reads1.fq.gz -ifiles=reads2.fq.gz
​
  The example above runs an app called "myApp" with 3 inputs called num (class
  int), str (class string), and files (class array:file).  (For this method to
  work, the app must have an input spec so inputs can be interpreted
  correctly.)  The same input field can be used multiple times if the input
  class is an array.
​
  Job-based object references can also be provided using the <job id>:<output
  name> syntax:
​
    Syntax :  -i<input name>=<job id>:<output name>
    Example:  dx run mapper -ireads=job-B0fbxvGY00j9jqGQvj8Q0001:reads
​
  You can extract an element of an array output using the <job id>:<output
  name>.<element> syntax:
​
    Syntax :  -i<input name>=<job id>:<output name>.<element>
    Example:  dx run mapper -ireadsfile=job-B0fbxvGY00j9jqGQvj8Q0001:reads.1
              # Extracts second element of array output
​
  When executing workflows, stage inputs can be specified using the <stage
  key>.<input name>=<value> syntax:
​
    Syntax :  -i<stage key>.<input name>=<input value>
    Example:  dx run my_workflow -i0.reads="My reads file"
​
<stage key> may be either the ID of the stage, name of the stage, or the
number of the stage in the workflow (0 indicates first stage)
  If the workflow has explicit, workflow-level inputs, input values must be
  passed to these workflow-level input fields using the <workflow input
  name>=<value> syntax:
​
    Syntax :  -i<workflow input name>=<input value>
    Example:  dx run my_workflow -ireads="My reads file"
​
SPECIFYING JSON INPUT
​
  JSON input can be used directly using the -j/--input-json or
  -f/--input-json-file flags.  When running an app or applet, the keys should
  be the input field names for the app or applet.  When running a workflow,
  the keys should be the input field names for each stage, prefixed by the
  stage key and a period, e.g. "my_stage.reads" for the "reads" input of stage
  "my_stage".

usage: dx-jobutil-add-output [-h] [--class [CLASSNAME]] [--array] name value
​
Reads and modifies job_output.json in your home directory to be a JSON hash
with key *name* and value  *value*.
​
If --class is not provided or is set to "auto", auto-detection of the output
format will occur.  In particular, it will treat it as a number, hash, or
boolean if it can be successfully parsed as such.  If it is a string which
matches the pattern for a data object ID, it will encapsulate it in a DNAnexus
link hash; otherwise it is treated as a simple string.
​
Use --array to append to an array of values or prepend "array:" to the --class
argument.
​
To use the output of another job as part of your output, use --class=jobref
(which will throw an error if it is not formatted correctly), or use the
automatic parsing which will recognize anything starting with a job ID as a
job-based object reference.  You should format the value as follows:
​
  Format: <job ID>:<output field name>
  Example: dx-jobutil-add-output myoutput --class=jobref \
             job-B2JKYqK4Zg2K915yQxPQ0024:other_output
​
Analysis references can be specified similarly with --class=analysisref and
formatted as:
​
  Format: <analysis ID>:<stage ID>.<output field name>
          <analysis ID>:<exported output field name>
  Example: dx-jobutil-add-output myoutput --class=analysisref \
             analysis-B2JKYqK4Zg2K915yQxPQ0024:some_output
​
positional arguments:
  name                 Name of the output field name
  value                Value of the output field
​
optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --class [CLASSNAME]  Class of output for formatting purposes, e.g. "int";
                       default "auto"
  --array              Output field is an array
