State Directory
The ifdh layer keeps a state directory for various bookkeeping and other
tasks. It is usually
created under $TMPDIR/ifdh_uid_pgid, but can be specified with
$IFDH_DATA_DIR; which is useful
for interactive shells that give each command their own process group
id. (see #8884)
The state directory is used for:
storing a proxy certificate if ifdh generates one
storing files gotten with fetchInput
keeping an output file list for
addOutput/renameOutput/copyBackOutput
The state directory is cleaned/removed up by ifdh cleanup
