Specifying Disk-File Names
file names. An example is \MYSYS.$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SAFECOM. A partially
qualified file name omits one or more parts of the name. SAFECOM uses the current
default system, volume, and subvolume names to expand the name to a fully qualified
name, possibly altered by SAFECOM SYSTEM and VOLUME commands.
Specifying Disk-File Names
You can identify a disk file with either a fully or a partially qualified disk file name. To
specify more than one disk file in a command, you can use wild cards in a disk file
name, or you can use a file name list.
Fully Qualified Disk-File Names
A fully qualified disk-file name includes the volume, subvolume, and file name, and can
include the system name for systems in a network.
A pattern is a template that represents a fully qualified file name. Wildcards are not
allowed in the volume dimension of a pattern. A one-dimensional search is limited to
the volume dimension. For example, $DATA*.B*.C* is a search for the pattern “B*.C*”
on all volumes that match “$DATA*”. For more information, see the Safeguard User’s
Guide.
\system-name
is the name of a system in a network of HP computer systems. This name can be
one to seven alphanumeric characters long, the first of which must be alphabetic.
$volume
is the name of a disk volume. This name can be one to seven alphanumeric
characters long, the first of which must be alphabetic.
subvolume
is the name of a subvolume residing on a disk volume. This name can be one to
eight alphanumeric characters long, the first of which must be alphabetic.
disk-filename
is the name of a disk file residing within a subvolume. This name can be one to
eight alphanumeric characters long, the first of which must be alphabetic.
[\system-name.]$volume.subvolume.disk-filename
Note. For disk files residing on a system that is not named, you must omit\system-name.
