Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.27+, H06.04+)

gtacl(1) OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
-reclen length Specifies the record length (1-4096) in bytes to be reported when a device
inquiry request occurs for a file that gtacl is filtering.
The default record length is 80 bytes.
-s Suppresses propagation of all current OSS environment variables to the TACL
process. This option takes precedence if the -f option is also used.
-swap pathname
Specifies the name of a Guardian swap file or swap volume for the data segment
of the child process. This option is no longer used and is provided for compati-
bility with previous releases. If specified, the name must be
• in OSS pathname syntax
• valid for an existing file
but is otherwise ignored. The operating system chooses a swap volume.
-term pathname
Specifies the filename of a Guardian terminal device to be used as the home ter-
minal of the child process. The name must be specified in OSS pathname syntax.
The default action is to use the home terminal of the gtacl process.
Refer to the TACL Reference Manual for additional information about Guardian
terminal device names.
-- Specifies that there are no more options on the gtacl command line. Any infor-
mation following this option is either processed as redirection specifications or
passed to the child process as arguments.
Operands
All operands that the gtacl command does not interpret as option arguments are passed in the
Guardian environment Startup message sent to the child process. gtacl does not expand
operands or interpret special characters.
If the command line is entered through the OSS environment /bin/sh shell, the shell can process
or expand operands on the command line before passing the line to gtacl to interpret. When an
operand contains blanks or special characters normally processed by the shell, you must use quo-
tation marks or escape characters correctly or unexpected actions might result. Refer to the sh(1)
reference page for more information.
Up to 980 bytes of arguments can be passed to the child process.
DESCRIPTION
The gtacl command executes a Guardian program, TACL macro, TACL routine, TACL alias, or
TACL command from the OSS environment within the same HP node. gtacl is an OSS process
that spawns a Guardian process. gtacl allows you to specify the environment and initial process
attributes of the child process.
