FileCatalogClientBase

FileCatalogClientBase is a base class for the clients of file catalog-like services built within the DIRAC framework.

The class contains variables defining lists of implemented catalog methods READ_METHODS WRITE_METHODS NO_LFN_METHODS ADMIN_METHODS

Those lists must be complemented in the derived classes to include specific implemented methods.
