Cache

Currently, the following actions are supported for cache:

Find

find action is used to list the path of the cache generated while running scripts through MLC.

Syntax

mlc find cache --tags=<list_of_tags_used_while_running_script>

Examples of find action for cache target could be found inside the GitHub action workflow here.

show action is used to list the path and meta data of the cache generated while running scripts through MLC.

Syntax

mlc show cache --tags=<list_of_tags_used_while_running_script>

Examples of show action for cache target could be found inside the GitHub action workflow here.

rm action is used to remove one/more caches generated while running scripts through MLC.

Syntax

mlc rm cache --tags=<list_of_tags_used_while_running_script>

A user could delete the entire generated caches through the following command:

mlc rm cache

-f could be used to force remove caches. Without -f, user would be prompted for confirmation to delete a cache.

Examples of rm action for cache target could be found inside the GitHub action workflow here.

mark-tmp adds the tmp tag to one/more cache entries without deleting the cached files.

Syntax

mlc mark-tmp cache --tags=<list_of_tags_used_while_running_script>

This is useful when a cache needs to be regenerated by future runs while keeping the existing files around for inspection or partial reuse.
