OSS Filesets
The OSS file system consists of one or more filesets. Each fileset is a hierarchy of files—a set of
directories, subdirectories, and files. In fact, the collection of directories and files under the root
directory makes up one large fileset.
Filesets are mounted and unmounted by the system administrator using the Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF) commands START FILESET and STOP FILESET in the Guardian environment.
Specifying Names With Pattern-Matching Characters
The OSS shell includes a set of pattern-matching characters (metacharacters) that you can use when
specifying filenames and directory names instead of typing all of the characters in a name or group
of names. Pattern-matching characters are discussed in Chapter 3 (page 31).
These are some of the most frequently used pattern-matching characters:
Matches any single character except a leading dot (.)?
Matches any sequence of characters except a leading dot (.)*
Matches any of the characters enclosed within the square brackets[]
These are examples of using the pattern-matching characters:
• file? matches fileA, file1, and fileb but not fileabc
• f*1 matches fileA1, file1231, and fFile1 but not file12 or ile1
• [il] matches fileA, myfile, and hillhouse
