File Names and Process Identifiers
Disk File Names
The syntax for a file name that identifies a disk file is:
node
specifies the name of the node (system) on which the file resides. A node 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 ($) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the
first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
subvol
specifies the name of the subvolume on which the file resides. A subvolume name
has one to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be a letter.
file-id
specifies the file identifier (or name) of a permanent disk file. A permanent-file
identifier has one to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be a
letter.
temp-file-id
specifies the file identifier (or name) of a temporary disk file. A temporary-file
identifier consists of a pound-sign (#) followed by four to seven numeric characters.
The operating system assigns file identifiers to temporary files.
The following is an example of a fully qualified disk file name:
\hdq.$mkt.reports.finance
Some TMFCOM commands allow the asterisk (*) as a wild-card character in place of
the volume, subvol, and file-id names in the volume.subvol.file-id
construct used for identifying permanent disk files. The asterisk indicates “all.” Thus,
the following example specifies all files in the subvolume Y on the disk volume
$DATA1:
$DATA1.Y.*
[node.][[volume.]subvol.]file-id
or
[node.][volume.]temp-file-id
