Open System Services System Calls Reference Manual (G06.29+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

Miscellaneous filename(5)
• Lowercase letters are not translated to uppercase for filename pattern matching. Pattern
matching is case-insensitive in the Guardian file system.
• Slashes between OSS filenames are translated to periods.
EXAMPLES
1. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname:
/usr/ccomp/prog1.c
2. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname:
/usr/ccomp/prog1.c
3. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname for the file named prog2 on
the remote NonStop server node NODE2:
/E/node2/usr/ccomp/prog2.c
4. The following is a relative OSS pathname for a file in a subdirectory of the current work-
ing directory:
refman/ch1
5. The following is an alternative relative OSS pathname for the same file in the same sub-
directory of the current working directory:
./refman/ch1
6. The following is a relative OSS pathname for a file in a subdirectory of the parent direc-
tory of the current working directory:
.. /yourfiles/oldmail
7. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname for a disk file in the Guardian
file system with the Guardian filename \NODE1.$DATA1.MYSUBVOL.MYFILE:
/G/data1/mysubvol/myfile
8. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname for a disk file in the Guardian
file system on the remote node NODE2 with the Guardian filename
\NODE2.$DATA1.MYSUBVOL.MYFILE:
/E/node2/G/data1/mysubvol/myfile
9. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname for a temporary disk file in
the Guardian file system:
/G/guest/#7777777
10. The following is an example of an absolute OSS pathname for a Guardian nondisk dev-
ice (a terminal device emulator):
/G/ztnt/#pty0001
11. The following is an example of translating an OSS pathname to a Guardian filename. If
the OSS pathname /G/data.volume/src.l1.v3.4.8/properties.c is passed to an OSS func-
tion call, the OSS pathname is interpreted as if it were specified to be
/G/datavol/srcl1v34/properti. This interpretation translates to the Guardian filename
\LOCAL.$DATAVOL.SRCL1V34.PROPERTI, where \LOCAL is the node name for the
local system in the NonStop server Expand network.
