FILEINFO Command

Use the FILEINFO command to display information about one or more disk files. The

FILEINFO command allows the use of a file-name template. The FILEINFO command

is an alias for the #XFILEINFO Built-In Function on page 9-423.

OUT list-file

specifies a device, or a sequential file accessible to the sequential I/O (SIO) facility,

that is to receive the output from FILEINFO. If you omit this option, TACL writes the

listing to its current OUT file.

If you specify an OUT file that does not exist, TACL creates an EDIT file named

list-file. If you specify an OUT file that already exists, TACL appends the

information to the end of the file.

file-name-template

is a list of one or more disk file specifications separated by commas or spaces.

Each disk file specification must be formatted as follows:

[[[\node.]$volume.] subvolume.] file-name ]

If, however, you specify a volume name, you must specify a subvolume name. This

file name is not syntactically correct:

$volume-name.file-name

For a description of filename templates, see File-Name Templates on page 2-7.

Considerations

If you do not specify a file-name template, FILEINFO displays information about all files

in the default volume and subvolume.

When a file is copied from one system to another system in a different time zone

without modifying the source date of the file, the FILEINFO command returns the file

modification time as the local civil time of the system from which the file was copied.

FILEINFO displays information in a form similar to the following:

$SPOOL.LINDA

CODE EOF LAST MODIFIED OWNER RWEP PExt SExt

AFILE 0 0 07DEC2000 15:58 8,185 NUNU 2 2

showing the name of each file requested, one or more letters identifying the file status,

its file code, the size of the file, the date and time when it was last modified, the user ID

FILEINFO [ / OUT list-file / ]

[ file-name-template [ [,] file-name-template ] ... ]
