4 | arff \- archiver for floppy | |
5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
6 | .B arff | |
7 | [ key ] [ name ... ] | |
8 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
9 | .I Arff | |
10 | saves and restores files | |
11 | on the console floppy disk. | |
12 | Its actions are controlled by the | |
13 | .I key | |
14 | argument. | |
15 | The | |
16 | .I key | |
17 | is a string of characters containing | |
18 | at most one function letter and possibly | |
19 | one or more function modifiers. | |
20 | Other arguments to the command are file | |
21 | names specifying which files are to be dumped or restored. | |
22 | .PP | |
23 | Files names have restrictions, because of radix50 considerations. They | |
24 | must be in the form 1-6 alphanumerics followed by "." followed by | |
25 | 0-3 alphanumerics. Case distinctions are lost. Only the trailing component | |
26 | of a pathname is used. | |
27 | .PP | |
28 | The function portion of | |
29 | the key is specified by one of the following letters: | |
30 | .TP 8 | |
31 | .B r | |
32 | The named files | |
33 | are replaced where found on the floppy, or added taking up | |
34 | the minimal possible portion of the first empty spot on the floppy. | |
35 | .TP 8 | |
36 | .B x | |
37 | The named files are extracted from the floppy. | |
38 | .TP 8 | |
39 | .B d | |
40 | The named files are deleted from the floppy. Arff will combine contiguous | |
41 | deleted files into one empty entry in the rt-11 directory. | |
42 | .TP 8 | |
43 | .B t | |
44 | The names of the specified files are listed each time they occur | |
45 | on the floppy. | |
46 | If no file argument is given, | |
47 | all of the names on the floppy are listed. | |
48 | .PP | |
49 | The following characters may be used in addition to the letter | |
50 | which selects the function desired. | |
51 | .TP 10 | |
52 | .B v | |
53 | Normally | |
54 | .I arff | |
55 | does its work silently. | |
56 | The | |
57 | .B v | |
58 | (verbose) | |
59 | option causes it to type the name of each file it treats | |
60 | preceded by the function letter. | |
61 | With the | |
62 | .B t | |
63 | function, | |
64 | .B v | |
65 | gives more information about the | |
66 | floppy entries than just the name. | |
67 | .TP 10 | |
68 | .B f | |
69 | causes | |
70 | .I arff | |
71 | to use the next argument as the name of the archive instead | |
72 | of /dev/floppy. | |
73 | .TP 10 | |
74 | .B m | |
75 | causes | |
76 | .I arff | |
77 | not to use the mapping algorithm employed in interleaving sectors | |
78 | around a floppy disk. In conjunction with the | |
79 | .B f | |
80 | option it may be | |
81 | used for extracting files from rt11 formatted cartridge disks, for | |
82 | example. | |
83 | .SH FILES | |
84 | /dev/floppy | |
85 | .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
86 | ``Configuring the Berkeley Virtual Memory Extensions to theUNIX System'' | |
87 | which describes how to set up boot files on the floppy. | |
88 | .SH BUGS | |
89 | Multiple segmented rt11 directories are not yet supported. | |
90 | .br | |
91 | Floppy errors are handled ungracefully. | |
