Editing Files From OSS
following table shows some common file operations, the OSS shell utility for those
operations, and examples of the same operations using a FUP command:
Editing Files From OSS
OSS has two primary editors: vi and ed utilities. vi is a screen-oriented editor; ed is a
line-mode editor. These editors are roughly equivalent to Guardian TEDIT and EDIT in
line mode. The Open System Services User’s Guide describes these OSS editors in
detail. Whenever possible, use the OSS (UNIX) editors for OSS files and the Guardian
editors for Guardian files.
Most OSS utilities can access Guardian type 101 files (EDIT files). These files can be
read from OSS and can also be written from OSS by using OSSTTY. You can use the
OSS editors to read and write Guardian type 180 files. If you want to edit a type 101
file using an OSS editor, you must first convert the file to type 180 with the Guardian
utility EDITTOC. If necessary, later convert it back to type 101 with the Guardian utility
CTOEDIT to use a Guardian editor. See Editing Files From TACL on page 4-16 for
more information on using EDITTOC and CTOEDIT.
Printing Files From OSS
You can use the OSS lp utility to print files, the lpstat utility to display the status of
print jobs, and the cancel utility to remove print jobs from the print queue. The
function of lp is equivalent to using FUP COPY to a spool location. lpstat is
equivalent to PERUSE. lpstat and cancel are equivalent to SPOOLCOM.
Examples
The following example prints the file testprog.c. The -d parameter specifies the
spool destination laser for the output:
lp -d laser testprog.c
Use the following command to list the status of all spool jobs in the print queue:
lpstat
