Directory, File, And Volume Specifiers - HP 9000 200 Series Manual

Directory, File, and Volume Specifiers
Files can be uniquely identified by specifying the following information:
• The directory in which the file resides (if it is in a hierarchical directory structure).
• The file's name.
(If a LIF or SRM file is currently "protected", you will need to
include the "protect code" or "password" with the file name.
If an HFS file is
"protected", you will need to make sure you have the correct access permission.
See the subsequent section of this chapter called "Protecting Files" for details.)
• The volume on which it resides. (If the file is on the default volume, then you don't
need to specify the volume; BASIC assumes the file is on the default volume when
you don't specify one.)
Here is a syntax drawing of the components of a file specifier:
