Starting OSSTTY
-[no]quiet
controls whether the warning and error messages described in Startup Messages
on page A-97 are displayed. Suppressing message display can be useful when
OSSTTY is used within a TACL macro or other script.
When the -quiet option is specified, no messages are displayed.
When the -noquiet option is specified, messages are displayed as necessary.
If you do not specify either option, OSSTTY uses the -noquiet option.
-[no]server
controls whether OSSTTY runs as a server that waits indefinitely for new
processes to open it after its last opener closes it.
When the -server option is specified, OSSTTY waits indefinitely and can only be
stopped by external action, such as using the TACL STOP command. This option
cannot be specified with the -idletimeout option.
When the -noserver option is specified, OSSTTY waits after its last opener
closes it for the number of seconds specified for the -idletimeout option.
If you do not specify either option, OSSTTY uses the -noserver option.
-[no]wrap
controls whether data wraps around to the beginning of a file and overwrites the
data there when a disk file’s end-of-file mark is reached. This option is intended for
use when the OUT option specifies and EDIT file and should be used with caution
to avoid inadvertent loss of data.
When the -wrap option is specified, overwrite is enabled.
When the -nowrap option is specified, reaching the end-of-file mark with more
data to write causes an error.
If you do not specify either option, OSSTTY uses the -nowrap option.
-secure security_string
specifies the access permissions for the OUT file in the Guardian file system when
the OUT file is an EDIT file and must be created by the command. Valid values are
any four-character combination of the read, write, execute, and purge permissions
allowed for Guardian file-system objects (N, U, O, A, G, C, or - for the super ID).
If you omit this option when an EDIT file must be created, OSSTTY uses the
default file-system permissions for the user ID of your terminal session.
Considerations
•
The OSS standard error file cannot be redirected to an EDIT file.
