download_files

An array of the file names to download from KiFS. File paths may contain wildcard characters after the KiFS directory delimiter.

Accepted wildcard characters are asterisk (*) to represent any string of zero or more characters, and question mark (?) to indicate a single character. The user can provide a single element (which will be automatically promoted to a list internally) or a list.

An array of starting byte offsets from which to read each respective file in input parameter file_names. Must either be empty or the same length as input parameter file_names. If empty, files are downloaded in their entirety. If not empty, input parameter read_lengths must also not be empty. The user can provide a single element (which will be automatically promoted to a list internally) or a list.

Array of number of bytes to read from each respective file in input parameter file_names. Must either be empty or the same length as input parameter file_names.

The user can provide a single element (which will be automatically promoted to a list internally) or a list.

Optional parameters. Allowed keys are:

• file_encoding – Encoding to be applied to the output file data. When using JSON serialization it is recommended to specify this as base64. Allowed values are:

  • base64 – Apply base64 encoding to the output file data.

  • none – Do not apply any encoding to the output file data.

  The default value is ‘none’.
