Usage: get_files [options] [file_list] [options] [file_list] ...
Options:
-jo : get joboption files from JOBOPTSEARCHPATH
-data : get data files from DATAPATH
-scripts : get scripts from PATH
-xmls : get XML files form XMLPATH
-copy : switch to copying files [default]
-symlink : switch to symlinking files
-keep : keep existing files, do not overwrite [default]
-remove : permit to overwrite files in current directory
-warn : print warning if more than one file matches specification. Slow.
-list : list all matches but do not copy anything
-help : print this help text
This script copies files from search path to the current directory.
Command line is parsed from left to right; each option found sets
defaults to process the following (possibly zero length) 'file_list'.
In any case, the first match is returned for each file requested.
If no option is specified, file is looked up in all areas; this is SLOW.
Duplicates are reported only if '-warn' was specified. This is slow.
Partial directory specification can be specified to resolve ambiguity.
Wildcards are permitted in file names/directories.
Examples:
% get_files -symlink -jo jobOptions.py -scripts -data # example from CMT
% get_files -jo -list '*Example/*.py'
% get_files -jo -warn ReadDBS.py # two files match
% get_files -jo -remove InDetAlignGenAlgs/ReadDBS.py # ambiguity resolved
