OBEY
OBEY
The OBEY option directs noft to read command lines from a specified command file.
filename
is the name of the OBEY command file. filename is a Guardian filename when
noft is running in the Guardian environment. filename is an OSS pathname
when noft is running in the OSS environment. The maximum size of the OSS
pathname is 255 characters.
Considerations:
•
Additional OBEY options can appear within an OBEY command file; you can nest
OBEY command files to any depth, but they cannot be circularly linked.
•
If you try to open a currently opened OBEY command file, an error occurs.
OUT
The OUT option does one of the following:
•
Redirects output to a specified file (the output file)
•
Redirects output to the standard output file
•
Displays the name of the current output file.
filename
specifies the name of the file to which output is to be redirected (the output file). If
the file exists, noft appends the output to it. If the file does not exist, noft creates
it. filename is a Guardian filename when noft is running in the Guardian
environment. filename is an OSS pathname when noft is running in the OSS
environment. The maximum size of the OSS pathname is 255 characters.
B
sets the file type of the output file to binary if the file does not already exist. The
default is text. If the file already exists, B has no effect.
