gsutil: List the objects in a bucket.
$ gsutil ls -r 'gs://${bucket_name}/${prefix}**'
try on your machine
The command gsutil ls -r 'gs://${bucket_name}/${prefix}**'
is used to list the objects in a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket recursively. Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:
gsutil
: It is a command-line tool provided by Google Cloud SDK for interacting with Google Cloud Storage.ls
: It is a command used to list objects in a GCS bucket.-r
: It stands for "recursive" and is used to include all objects in subdirectories of the specified prefix.'gs://${bucket_name}/${prefix}**'
: This is the path to the bucket and objects you want to list. It consists of two parts:${bucket_name}
: It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of your GCS bucket.${prefix}
: It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the prefix or directory path inside the bucket that you want to list objects from.
By using **
after ${prefix}
, it includes all objects in subdirectories under the specified prefix. The gs://
prefix before ${bucket_name}
indicates that it is a GCS bucket.
