Reserved File Names

The system does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase alphabetic

characters in a file name. If all the optional left-hand parts of a file name are present, it

is called a fully qualified file name; if any of the optional left-hand parts are missing, it

is called a partially qualified file name.

For more information about file names and process identifiers and the rules that govern

them, see the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.

Reserved File Names

Subvolume names and file names that begin with the letter “Z” are reserved.

Disk File Names

The syntax for a file name that identifies a disk file is:

system

specifies the name of the system on which the file resides. A system name

consists of a backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the

first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

volume

specifies the name of the volume on which the file resides. A volume name

consists of a dollar sign ($) followed by one to six alphanumeric characters; the

first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

subvol

specifies the name of the subvolume on which the file resides. A subvolume name

has one to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be a letter.

filename

specifies the name of a permanent disk file. A permanent-file name consists of

one to eight alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be a letter.

Note. RDF does not support long network names. In particular, process names can contain

no more than five characters, including the leading dollar sign ($).
