OSS Commands for the Guardian User
In the following example, the set_define command establishes an unnamed
DEFINE attribute set that contains the attributes common to two DEFINEs to be
created. (The class SPOOL is not required in this command.)
set_define class=spool COPIES=1 MAXPRINTPAGES=100
show_define
CLASS = SPOOL
COPIES = 1
MAXPRINTPAGES = 100
add_define =LETTER LOC=LASER01 PAGESIZE=66
add_define =LEGAL LOC=LASER02 PAGESIZE=84
In this example, the show_define command displays the values of the unnamed
DEFINE set just created, and two add_define commands create the attributes
unique to each DEFINE.
The following table shows the values of the DEFINEs created in this example.
DEFINEs can be established and manipulated for use by invocations of Guardian
programs and Guardian commands from the OSS shell. (See Running Guardian
Commands From the OSS Shell on page 4-21.)
OSS Commands for the Guardian User
This subsection helps Guardian users understand the OSS commands and utilities. It
contains information on managing processes and files and on compiling and linking
programs in an OSS environment. Appendix A, Equivalent OSS and UNIX Commands
for Guardian Users, contains a table of many common Guardian commands and their
functionally equivalent OSS shell commands. More information on working with the
RESET DEFINE reset_define Restores DEFINE attributes to their initial
settings.
SET DEFINE set_define Sets DEFINE attribute values.
SHOW DEFINE show_define Displays DEFINE attributes and values.
Note. The names of Guardian DEFINEs begin with an equal sign (=) and must be followed by
a letter. Special characters such as $, \, and so forth, must be preceded by a backslash (\).
