The hoard command configures the way the cache manager keeps files and directories in the cache. The command
hoard -f
reads a hoard file and sends the commands in it to the cache manager. Venus remembers these commands and checks the cache every 10 minutes to see that these files are there. Note that you cannot tell hoard to save files or directories which you have no right to access; you must have a Coda token to run most hoard commands.
`clear' tells the cache manager to forget its hoard list. `walk' forces venus to check the cache now and add files and directories if necessary. `list' prints a list of the cached objects; it reassures me that hoarding is going on.
There are also `off' and `on' commands which let you switch the automatic hoard monitoring function off and back on without actually clearing the hoard list, and a `delete' command which removes a file or directory from the hoard list.
