File Names and Process Identifiers
The next example specifies all files in all subvolumes on the volume $DATA5:
$DATA5.*.*
The last example specifies all files in all subvolumes on all volumes (in other words, all
files stored at the node):
*.*.*
Notice that, as a general rule, the asterisk can only replace a complete volume name,
subvolume name, or file-id. Thus, you cannot use an asterisk to replace just a portion
of an element name; for example, you cannot specify a volume named $DATA* or a
file identified as BAS*12.
Nondisk Device Names
The syntax for a file name that identifies a nondisk device is:
node
specifies the name of the node on which the device resides. A node 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.
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.
Note. Exceptions to this rule do exist: for a few TMFCOM commands, the asterisk (*) and the
question mark (?) can be used to replace only portions of volume, subvolume, and file names.
Directions for this precise pattern matching appear in the discussions of the particular
commands.
