OUT
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 can:
•
Redirect output to a specified file (the output file)
•
Redirect output to the standard output file
•
Display 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 file name 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, the B option has no effect.
OFF
redirects output to the standard output file.
?
displays the name of the current output file. Because the name of the file is written
to the file itself, you see the name only if the output file is the standard output file.
For more information, see Example 3-42 on page 3-43.
Consideration
•
When sending large amounts of output to a log file in the Guardian environment,
you might exceed the default file-size limits. To increase the file-size limits, use the
Example 3-41. OBEY Option
