Task 3: Run VPROC
Task 3: Run VPROC
You can run VPROC in the following ways:
•
By specifying a full Guardian VPROC command at the TACL prompt in the 
Guardian environment
•
By specifying a full Guardian VPROC command as an operand to the OSS gtacl 
command in the OSS environment
•
By specifying a full OSS vproc command in the OSS environment
•
As an interactive process in either environment
Running VPROC in the Guardian Environment
The following paragraphs describe the Guardian VPROC command when used in the 
Guardian environment.
For Guardian Files
If you execute VPROC from the TACL program to display version information for 
Guardian files, the syntax is: 
run-option  
Is any run option described under the RUN command in the TACL Reference 
Manual. If you specify pathname in the VPROC command, you must enter at 
least one valid run option. If no run option is needed, use the NAME option.
file-set
Is a file or set of files entered as:
[\system.[$volume.[subvolume.]]]fileid
The file-set parameter specifies the Guardian file name of the product whose 
version information you are seeking. The fileid specification can be either a 
single disk file ID or an asterisk (*) to indicate all files in a subvolume. 
pathname
Specifies the absolute OSS pathname of the product whose version information you 
seek. A local Guardian file name can be expressed in OSS pathname syntax by 
replacing the $ with /G/ and replacing the . with /; lowercase characters are used 
for Guardian file names in OSS pathname syntax (for example, 
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.VPROC is expressed as /G/system/system/vproc).
VPROC does not support the wild-card asterisk (*) in OSS pathnames in the 
Guardian environment. 
VPROC [/run-option/] { file-set | pathname }
