7 The @arv-run@ command enables you create Arvados pipelines at the command line that fan out to multiple concurrent tasks across Arvados compute nodes.

12
13 Using @arv-run@ you can write and test command lines interactively, then insert @arv-run@ at the beginning of the command line to run the command on Arvados.  For example:

36 A key feature of @arv-run@ is the ability to introspect the command line to determine which arguments are file inputs, and transform those paths so they are usable inside the Arvados container.  In the above example, @HWI-ST1027_129_D0THKACXX.1_2.fastq@ is transformed into @/keep/3229739b505d2b878b62aed09895a55a+142/HWI-ST1027_129_D0THKACXX.1_1.fastq@.  @arv-run@ also works together with @arv-mount@ to identify that the file is already part of an Arvados collection.  In this case, it will use the existing collection without any upload step.  If you specify a file that is only available on the local filesystem, @arv-run@ will upload a new collection.
37
38 If you find that @arv-run@ is incorrectly rewriting one of your command line arguments, place a backslash @\@ at the beginning of the affected argument to quote it (suppress rewriting).
39
40 h2. Parallel tasks
41
42 @arv-run@ will parallelize over files listed on the command line after @--@.

71
72 (Note: because the syntax is designed to mimic standard shell syntax, it is necessary to quote the metacharacters @<@, @>@ and @|@ as either @\<@, @\>@ and @\|@ or @'<'@, @'>'@ and @'|'@.)

137 * @--docker-image IMG@ : By default, commands run based in a container created from the @default_docker_image_for_jobs@ setting on the API server.  Use this option to specify a different image to use.  Note: the Docker image must be uploaded to Arvados using @arv keep docker@.
138 * @--dry-run@ : Print out the final Arvados pipeline generated by @arv-run@ without submitting it.
139 * @--local@ : By default, the pipeline will be submitted to your configured Arvados instance.  Use this option to run the command locally using @arv-run-pipeline-instance --run-jobs-here@.
140 * @--ignore-rcode@ : Some commands use non-zero exit codes to indicate nonfatal conditions (e.g. @grep@ returns 1 when no match is found).  Set this to indicate that commands that return non-zero return codes should not be considered failed.
141 * @--no-wait@ : Do not wait and display logs after submitting command, just exit.
