15 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
16 | .I Arff | |
17 | saves and restores files | |
18 | on the console floppy disk. | |
19 | Its actions are controlled by the | |
20 | .I key | |
21 | argument. | |
22 | The | |
23 | .I key | |
24 | is a string of characters containing | |
25 | at most one function letter and possibly | |
26 | one or more function modifiers. | |
27 | Other arguments to the command are file | |
28 | names specifying which files are to be dumped or restored. | |
29 | .PP | |
30 | Files names have restrictions, because of radix50 considerations. They | |
31 | must be in the form 1-6 alphanumerics followed by "." followed by | |
32 | 0-3 alphanumerics. Case distinctions are lost. Only the trailing component | |
33 | of a pathname is used. | |
34 | .PP | |
35 | The function portion of | |
36 | the key is specified by one of the following letters: | |
37 | .TP 8 | |
38 | .B r | |
39 | The named files | |
40 | are replaced where found on the floppy, or added taking up | |
41 | the minimal possible portion of the first empty spot on the floppy. | |
42 | .TP 8 | |
43 | .B x | |
44 | The named files are extracted from the floppy. | |
45 | .TP 8 | |
46 | .B d | |
47 | The named files are deleted from the floppy. Arff will combine contiguous | |
48 | deleted files into one empty entry in the rt-11 directory. | |
49 | .TP 8 | |
50 | .B t | |
51 | The names of the specified files are listed each time they occur | |
52 | on the floppy. | |
53 | If no file argument is given, | |
54 | all of the names on the floppy are listed. | |
55 | .PP | |
56 | The following characters may be used in addition to the letter | |
57 | which selects the function desired. | |
58 | .TP 10 | |
59 | .B v | |
60 | Normally | |
61 | .I arff | |
62 | does its work silently. | |
63 | The | |
64 | .B v | |
65 | (verbose) | |
66 | option causes it to type the name of each file it treats | |
67 | preceded by the function letter. | |
68 | With the | |
69 | .B t | |
70 | function, | |
71 | .B v | |
72 | gives more information about the | |
73 | floppy entries than just the name. | |
74 | .TP 10 | |
75 | .B f | |
76 | causes | |
77 | .I arff | |
78 | to use the next argument as the name of the archive instead | |
79 | of /dev/floppy. | |
80 | .TP 10 | |
81 | .B m | |
82 | causes | |
83 | .I arff | |
84 | not to use the mapping algorithm employed in interleaving sectors | |
85 | around a floppy disk. In conjunction with the | |
86 | .B f | |
87 | option it may be | |
88 | used for extracting files from rt11 formatted cartridge disks, for | |
89 | example. | |
90 | .TP 10 | |
91 | .B c | |
92 | causes | |
93 | .I arff | |
94 | to create a new directory on the floppy, effectively deleting | |
95 | all previously existing files. | |
96 | .PP | |
97 | .I Flcopy | |
98 | copies | |
99 | the console floppy disk | |
100 | (opened as `/dev/floppy') | |
101 | to a file created in the | |
102 | current directory, named \*(lqfloppy\*(rq, | |
103 | then prints the message | |
104 | \*(lqChange Floppy, hit return when done\*(rq. | |
105 | Then | |
106 | .I flcopy | |
107 | copies the local file back out to the floppy disk. | |
108 | .PP | |
109 | The | |
110 | .B \-h | |
111 | option to | |
112 | .I flcopy | |
113 | causes it to | |
114 | open a file named \*(lqfloppy\*(rq in the current directory | |
115 | and copy it to | |
116 | .I /dev/floppy; | |
117 | the | |
118 | .B \-t | |
119 | option | |
120 | causes only the first | |
121 | .I n | |
122 | tracks to participate in a copy. | |
123 | .PP | |
124 | .I Arff | |
125 | may also be used with the console TU58 cassettes on the 11/730. | |
126 | To do so, the | |
127 | .B m | |
128 | key must be specified. Normally, the | |
129 | .B f | |
130 | key is also used. | |
131 | .SH FILES | |
132 | /dev/floppy | |
133 | .br | |
134 | floppy (in current directory) | |
135 | .SH AUTHORS | |
136 | Keith Sklower, Richard Tuck | |
137 | .SH BUGS | |
138 | Floppy errors are handled ungracefully; | |
139 | .I Arff | |
140 | does not handle multi-segment rt11 directories. |
