This program can be used to collect data about the storage state from local or remote machines (through SSH) and use them to generate a DOT graphic representing them.

Collect storage data on MACHINE (through SSH). By default, local storage data are collected (without SSH).
By default, a DOT file is generated from the storage data. With this option, the program do not create the DOT file but only output the raw collected data for later analyze.
In order to generate the DOT file, use the provided data. FILE must have been created with the help of the previous option. No new data are collected when this option is used.
Write generated data (DOT by default) into FILE instead of the standard output.
Write shell commands (and their output) that are used to collect data into FILE. This is mainly used for reproducibility during tests.
Use information from FILE instead of running real shell commands in order to collect data. FILE must be This is mainly used for reproducibility during tests.
Print a brief help message and exits.
Prints the manual page and exits.

Generate a DOT file representing the state of the storage on the local machine.
Generate a DOT file representing the state of the storage on the remote host machine. Only perl (and its standard modules) are required on the remote machine. Of course, a SSH account is also required.
Just collect data on current machine without generating a DOT file. Only perl (and its standard modules) are required on the current machine.
Generate a DOT file representing the state of the storage recorded in the state.data file. Extra perl modules are required for this command.
Generate a PDF from the DOT file using dot(1).
