Similarly, this command displays the attributes of all disk files whose names are five
characters long and whose first four characters are ACCT:
=INFO DISK acct?
Restrictions
These important points apply to the use of wild-card characters:
•
Wild cards in ADD commands for disk files, volumes, and subvolumes affect only
objects that already exist. For example, the following command protects only files
that currently exist on volume $VOL1 and subvolume DATA:
=ADD DISKFILE $VOL1.DATA.*
•
You cannot use wild cards in ADD commands for devices, subdevices, processes,
subprocesses, and terminals.
•
If you are a security administrator, wild cards are allowed in only two instances
when you specify a user ID in its number form. The forms group-number,* and *,*
are valid. All other forms, such as *,124, are invalid.
•
Except for two instances, you cannot use wild cards in user names when you alter
an access control list. The forms group-name.* and *.* are the only valid forms.
Abbreviating SAFECOM Commands
You can abbreviate any SAFECOM reserved word, including commands, attributes,
and keywords. In most instances, a reserved word can be abbreviated to its first three
characters. You can use more than three characters for clarity, but three is the
minimum required.
Some abbreviations must be longer than three characters so that the Safeguard
software can distinguish between similar reserved words, such as SUBVOLUME and
SUBPROCESS.
When a reserved word is hyphenated, do not omit any hyphens. Each component of a
hyphenated word must have at least its first three characters.
To understand the use of abbreviations, consider the following command:
=ALTER SUBVOLUME star, OWNER 12,8, AUDIT-ACCESS-PASS LOCAL
