OSS Pathnames
file-name
is the name of a file. A file name can contain any characters except slash (/) and
the NULL character (zero). Its first character cannot be a hyphen (-). Its maximum
length is NAME_MAX characters, as defined by the limitsh header file. If file-
name contains special characters, the entire pathname must be enclosed in
quotation marks.

device
specifies a Guardian device or either of the special names #DYNAMIC or #TERM.
file-id-1
node.volume.subvolume.file_id
node

version D40.00 or later, and the node must have a compatible OSS name server.
