==========================

Synopsis
--------
::

  datalad export-archive-ora [-h] [-d DATASET] TARGET ...


Description
-----------
Export an archive of a local annex object store for the ORA remote.

Keys in the local annex object store are reorganized in a temporary
directory (using links to avoid storage duplication) to use the
'hashdirlower' setup used by git-annex for bare repositories and
the directory-type special remote. This alternative object store is
then moved into a 7zip archive that is suitable for use in a
ORA remote dataset store. Placing such an archive into::

  <dataset location>/archives/archive.7z

Enables the ORA special remote to locate and retrieve all keys contained
in the archive.


Options
-------
TARGET
~~~~~~
if an existing directory, an 'archive.7z' is placed into it, otherwise this is the path to the target archive. Constraints: value must be a string

...
~~~
list of options for 7z to replace the default '-mx0' to generate an uncompressed archive.

**-h**, **-\\-help**, **-\\-help-np**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message

**-d** *DATASET*, **-\\-dataset** *DATASET*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
