register_dataset_type

lsst.daf.butler.cli.cmd.register_dataset_type = <ButlerCommand register-dataset-type>

Register a new dataset type with this butler repository.

REPO is the URI or path to an existing data repository root or configuration file.

DATASET_TYPE is the name of the dataset type.

STORAGE_CLASS is the name of the StorageClass to be associated with this dataset type.

DIMENSIONS is a list of all the dimensions relevant to this dataset type. It can be an empty list.

A component dataset type (such as “something.component”) is not a real dataset type and so can not be defined by this command. They are automatically derived from the composite dataset type when a composite storage class is specified.
