Command Overview
file-id identifies a particular file within the subvolume, for example, EXSPEC.
For convenience, default values are provided for all parts except file-id. The initial
default values are the values provided by the TACL or SCF process through which you
invoked PTrace.
For example, if you invoked PTrace while your current system, volume, and subvolume
are \WASH.$DATA.RESDEV, then your default system, volume, and subvolume are
\WASH.$DATA.RESDEV.
