Getting Information About Single Files

You can use the FUP INFO command to find out many characteristics of a file or a set
of files. Some common uses of the INFO command are described in this subsection. For
more information, see
description of the FUP INFO command in the File Utility Program (FUP) Reference
Manual.
To get information about a single file, enter the INFO command followed by the name
of the file. This example gets information about the file DICTALT in the current default
system, volume, and subvolume:
-INFO DICTALT
$JUMBO.PATHWAY
DICTALT
The first line in the display consists of column headings that identify the information
listed. The second line of the display gives the name of the subvolume
($JUMBO.PATHWAY) that contains the listed file (DICTALT).
The headers in the FUP INFO listing indicate:
CODE — the file code. Codes 100 through 999 are reserved by Compaq for system
codes. For example, code 100 is assigned to all TNS program object code files, and code
101 is assigned to EDIT files.
EOF — the current length of the file in bytes.
LAST MODIF — the date and time when the file was last modified. If the file was last
modified on the day you enter the INFO command, only the time is displayed.
OWNER — the user ID of the owner of the file. Each file is owned by only one user on
the system. When a file is created, it is owned by the user who created it.
RWEP — Read/Write/Execute/Purge. This column shows the current security settings
for the file; file security is set by the file owner.
For files protected by Safeguard software, this column displays quoted asterisks (****).
Use the Safecom program to get information about security for files protected by
Safeguard software. For more information about the Safeguard subsystem, see the
Safeguard User's Guide.
TYPE, REC, and BLOCK show information about structured files. For details, see the
description of the FUP INFO command in the File Utility Program (FUP) Reference
Manual.
