Running the noft Utility in the OSS Environment
command-file
is an edit file containing one or more noft options. If the file contains more than
one option, options must be separated by semicolons (;).
If both a command-file and options are given, noft ignores the command-
file.
output-filename
specifies a Guardian file name to which noft writes its output. If you specify a disk
file name and the file does not exist, noft creates an edit file. If the specified disk
file exists, noft appends to the file. If you omit the OUT option, noft writes its
output to your current default output file.
option
is one or more noft flags with their parameters, if any.
When you run noft from the command line:
•
Include the option FILE or F on page 3-17.
•
Do not include these options, which work only in an interactive session:
°
! (Exclamation Point) on page 3-4
°
FC on page 3-16
•
Do not include these, which are useful only in an interactive session:
°
The option HISTORY or H on page 3-22
°
The HISTORYBUFFER or HISTORYWINDOW parameter of the option SET on
page 3-47
(Options given in the command line are not stored in the history buffer.)
This section summarizes the noft flags. For further information, see Section 3, noft
Options.
