Yes there is, by using an “info” call. Try this from the linux command prompt\

```auto
CODE: SELECT ALL
asinfo -v “sets<your namespace>”

```

This will return a string with data about each set. The “objects” value is the number of objects in a set. You can call this from the client API, parse the string that is returned and get the number of objects

Shall be:

```auto
CODE: SELECT ALL
asinfo -v “sets/<your namespace>”
or:
asinfo -v “sets/<your namespace>/<your set name>”

Examples:
[root@localhost data]# asinfo -v "sets/test"
requested value sets/test
value is ns_name=test:set_name=testset:n_objects=29110779:set-stop-write-count=0:set-evict-hwm-count=0:set-enable-xdr=use-default:set-delete=false;ns_name=test:set_name=mytable:n_objects=1:set-stop-write-count=0:set-evict-hwm-count=0:set-enable-xdr=use-default:set-delete=false;
[root@localhost data]# asinfo -v "sets/test/testset"
requested value sets/test/testset
value is n_objects=29110779:set-stop-write-count=0:set-evict-hwm-count=0:set-enable-xdr=use-default:set-delete=false;

```
