The user directory
The z/VM user directory (or user registry) describes the configuration and operating
characteristics of each virtual machine that can be created by CP. A z/VM user
directory exists in two forms: a source form that consists of one or more CMS files,
and an object form, compiled from the source, on a CP-formatted disk.
Each virtual machine has a directory entry. Here is a sample directory entry. The
callouts in reverse type next to each statement correspond to explanations that
follow the sample.
