How can I get the value of the "--extra-files" option in the handler?

For example, the value of the “–serializedFile” option can be obtained with the following code

#Initialization functions in the handler class
def initialize(self, context):
        self.manifest = context.manifest
        serialized_file = self.manifest['model']['serializedFile']

How can I get the value of the “–extra-files” option?

Best regards.

@Shin-ichi-Takayama model-archiver manifest file format should be transparent to users. In other words, Torchseve can implement it in whatever format. Users don’t care as long as TorchServe provide API to allow users handler to be able to access the input items from model archiver command line.

existing model archiver only includes extra-files input from cmd-line, does not add sth like “extraFiles” in manifest model item. Wait for @chauhang to confirm the existing behavior is expected or not.

So there is no way for you to write code such as

extra_files : List = properties.get("extra_files")
for file in extra_files:
  if extra_file == "extra_file_name":
    do_x()
  ...

Let’s assume you are mar file creator. You know the input extra files. Then you can directly access the extra files in handler via model_dir/extra-fileXXX.
