Entering FUP Commands
Entering FUP Commands
You can enter FUP commands in any of these ways: 
•
Enter complete FUP commands at the TACL prompt. 
•
Start a FUP process and then enter commands interactively at the FUP prompt. 
•
Start a FUP process that reads input from a command file containing FUP 
commands. 
Entering FUP Commands Through TACL
You can enter single FUP commands at the TACL prompt. Enter the term FUP followed 
by the command. After FUP executes the command, control of the terminal returns to 
the TACL program. 
For example, to enter the FUP INFO * command, type:  
FUP lists file information for each file in your current default subvolume. Then, the 
TACL prompt reappears. 
When you enter FUP commands through the TACL program, you can enter only one 
command at a time. A separate FUP process starts and completes for each command you 
enter.
Entering FUP Commands Interactively Through FUP
After you start a FUP process, you can enter commands at the FUP prompt. To start an 
interactive FUP process, enter FUP with no command name or other options at the 
TACL prompt. FUP displays its program banner and prompt, a hyphen (-):  
The FUP process now controls the terminal. The hyphen indicates that the FUP process 
is ready to accept a command. You can enter a FUP command interactively after the 
hyphen:  
To exit from FUP and return to the TACL program, enter the EXIT command:  
You can also stop a FUP process by pressing the CTRL-Y keys. CTRL-Y marks the end 
of a file (EOF). When FUP reads CTRL-Y from its input file (in this case, your 
terminal), it stops execution.
