Printing Files From TACL
After moving an OSS format file to the Guardian environment, converting a file to EDIT
format is done with the Guardian utility CTOEDIT, as follows:
CTOEDIT fromfile, tofile
Printing Files From TACL
ASCII text files or EDIT-format files are printed by copying the file to a spool location. A
spool location normally is named $S, followed by a printer name: for example,
$S.#LASER.
The command to print the file $DATA01.REPORTS.JAN94 to the spool location
$S.#LASER is as follows:
FUP COPY $DATA01.REPORTS.JAN94, $S.#LASER
OSS Pathname and Guardian Filename
Conversions
Two utilities are available for you to translate OSS pathnames to Guardian filenames
and Guardian filenames to OSS pathnames. The gname utility converts OSS
pathnames into Guardian filenames; the pname utility converts Guardian filenames into
OSS pathnames.
The following gname command:
gname /bin/sh
results in the following output:
gname: /bin/sh ---> \KT22.$XPG.ZYQ00000.Z00005LS
The following pname command:
pname \$XPG.ZYQ00000.Z00005LS
results in the following output:
pname: $XPG.ZYQ00000.Z00005LS ---> /bin/sh
Use the ls utility in the OSS environment to list filenames in your OSS directories; use
the FILES command in the Guardian environment to list filenames in your Guardian
subvolumes.
To list process names associated with commands being executed, use the Guardian
STATUS command for both OSS and Guardian process names. See Guardian
Commands for the UNIX User on page 4-14 for a sample output of the Guardian
STATUS command. To obtain the status of only OSS processes, use the OSS ps
utility, discussed under OSS Commands for the Guardian User on page 4-10.
OSS processes are identified by the program filename, with subvolume names
beginning with ZYQ. The program filename for the OSS process can be translated
