Nondisk Device Names
Nondisk Device Names
The syntax for a file name that identifies a nondisk device is:
system
specifies the name of the system on which the device resides. A system name
consists of a backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the
first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
device-name
specifies the name of a device. A device name consists of a dollar sign ($)
followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric
character must be a letter.
Because of C-series operating system limitations, a process running on a D-series
system cannot identify a remote C-series device name that has more than six
characters after the dollar sign.
qualifier
is an optional qualifier. It consists of a pound sign (#) followed by one to seven
alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
ldev-number
specifies a logical device number. A logical device number is represented by a
dollar sign ($) followed by a maximum of five digits. The logical device number 0
(represented “$0”) is reserved for the Event Management Service (EMS) collector
process.
The following are examples of file names that identify nondisk devices:
\ny.$s.#titan3s
$s.#lp
$tape4
$10
[system.]device-name[.qualifier]
or
[system.]ldev-number
