E Managing Traits at the Console
272
When one of these traits is on, the letter representing that trait appears in the second line. For
instance, the R in the second line of the example indicates the Read-only trait is on:
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT sortfield purge dis mbox directory
-R-----I---Q-X---- TITLE P4.0 D1 - WIRES.ALL
A hyphen in the second line indicates that trait identified above it is off. For instance, the
first trait in the header, an S, represents a sequentially ordered directory or queue. Because
the second line has a hyphen below the Sequential trait indicator (the S) means that
WIRES.ALL is alphabetically, rather than sequentially, ordered.
Another trait indicated as on for WIRES.ALL is the one represented by the letter I. This trait
is Inverted, which means this queue displays the most recent stories at the top.
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT sortfield purge dis mbox directory
-R-----I---Q-X--- TITLE P4.0 D1 - WIRES.ALL
Getting Detailed Information
To obtain a more detailed information about a directory or queue, add the verbose command,
such as list d-v followed by the queue or directory name.
For instance, to list information about the queue called RUNDOWNS.5PM, type:
list d-v rundowns.5pm
A screen similar to the following appears:
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT sortfield purge dis mbox
RUNDOWNS.5PM:
QS-P---I---QA---iT TITLE P0 R1 -
rg=castread wg=castwrite eg=casteditorial ng=-
queue form=RUNDOWN story form=STORYFORM
The first letter (Q) in the line under the queue name indicates that RUNDOWNS.5PM is a
queue.
