  USAGE:
      % vovprop SET [-text] objectIdList propName propValue
      % vovprop GET [-default DEFAULT_VALUE_IF_PROP_MISSING] objectId propName
      % vovprop DELETE objectId propName
      % vovprop SHOW objectId [-namepat regexp] [-nameonly]
      % vovprop SHOW [-namepat regexp] [-nameonly] id1 [id2 ... idN]
  
      The action (GET, SET, DELETE, DEL, SHOW, LIST) is case-insensitive.
      LIST and SHOW are equivalent.
  
  OPTIONS FOR GET:
      -default V        -- Specify a default value in case objectId
                           or property is missing.
  
  OPTIONS FOR SET:
      -integer          -- Specify that property is of type integer.
      -text             -- Specify that property is of type string.
      -auto             -- Determine type automatically (default).
      -sticky           -- The property is sticky (default).

      -asynch           -- Do not wait for reply from server.
      -synch            -- Wait for reply from server (default).
      -elements         -- If setting a property on a set, do so for the
                           elements contained in the set instead of the
                           set itself.
      -noelements       -- If setting a property on a set, do so on the set
                           itself (default).
  
  OPTIONS FOR SHOW,LIST:
      -namepat R        -- Show only properties where name matches regexp R

  EXAMPLES:
      % vovprop SET -text 1 "ABC" "xyz"
      % vovprop SET -text 1 "NUM" 1234
      % vovprop GET 000123456 ABC
      % vovprop GET -default "" 000123456 ABC
      % vovprop DEL 000123456 ABC

Comments

A property of a job that is not 'sticky' will be forgotten if the job is re-run successfully.

Properties can also be managed using the Tcl API's vtk_prop_get and vtk_prop_set. Use vtk_prop_list to get a list of the names of the properties attached to an object.
