o Tools:
	= ngasCheckFileCopies -diskId <Disk ID> [-checkAccess]
                              [-notifEmail <Email List>]
		Check number of copies of each file on the given disk
		found in the system (given by File ID/File Version).

	= ngasDiscardFiles [-accessCode <Code>] -fileList <File List> 
                           [-execute] [-force] [-notifEmail <Email List>]
		Removes entries for files from the DB and from the disk
		specified in a file list. The format of this file list is:

		<Disk ID> <File ID> <File Version>
		<Disk ID> <File ID> <File Version>
		...

		Blank lines and lines initiated with # are ignored. The
		number of spaces between the field is not significant.
		
		The tool will only allow to remove a file if at least one
		other (good) copy seems to be available in the system.
		If only one copy is available, it is possible to force
		removal by specifying the -force parameter.	
	
	= ngasRegisterExtFiles  [-accessCode <Code>] -fileList <File List>
                                [-notifEmail <Email List>]
		Registers files listed as:

			<Disk ID> <File ID> <File Version>
			<Disk ID> <File ID> <File Version>
			...

		- in the NGAS DB (ngas_files), as EXTERNAL files. Also 'fake'
		entries	for the external disks are created in the ngas_disks
		table.

	= ngasChangeDiskLabel [-accessCode <Code>] -diskId <Disk ID>
		Changes the Disk Label of the disk referred to by its
		Disk ID.

	= ngasRetireDisk -diskId <Disk ID> [-execute] [-force]
                         [-accessCode <Code>] [-notifEmail <Email List>]
		Delete entries for files registered on the Retired Disks.
                Before removing these entries from the DB, a back-up is made
                to ngas_files_retired.


	= ngasArchiveFileList -fileList <File List> [-host <Host>]
                              [-port <Port>] [-accessCode <Code>]

			 -fileId <File ID> -fileVersion <File Version>
			 [-execute] [-notifEmail <Email List>]
		Set the ngas_files.ignore flag for the given file to 1.

	o ngasCheckDisk -diskId <Disk ID> [-notifEmail <Email List>]
		Check the given disk. Is done using the CHECKDISK Command
                which again does the same as the DCC.

			      [-execute] [-notifEmail <Email List>]

o File SPR to add parameter to CLONE Command: -reqCopies <# copies),
  which can be used to avoid cloning a file if there are more than
  the specified number of copies.
