21 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
22 | .I Arff | |
23 | saves and restores files | |
188baeac MK |
24 | on VAX console media (the console floppy on the VAX 11/780 and 785, |
25 | the cassette on the 11/730, and the console RL02 on the 8600/8650). | |
2c25c95b KM |
26 | Its actions are controlled by the |
27 | .I key | |
28 | argument. | |
29 | The | |
30 | .I key | |
31 | is a string of characters containing | |
32 | at most one function letter and possibly | |
33 | one or more function modifiers. | |
34 | Other arguments to the command are file | |
35 | names specifying which files are to be dumped or restored. | |
188baeac MK |
36 | The default options are correct for the RX01 floppy on the 780; |
37 | for other console media, the | |
38 | .B f | |
39 | and | |
40 | .B m | |
41 | flags are required. | |
2c25c95b KM |
42 | .PP |
43 | Files names have restrictions, because of radix50 considerations. They | |
44 | must be in the form 1-6 alphanumerics followed by "." followed by | |
45 | 0-3 alphanumerics. Case distinctions are lost. Only the trailing component | |
46 | of a pathname is used. | |
47 | .PP | |
48 | The function portion of | |
49 | the key is specified by one of the following letters: | |
50 | .TP 8 | |
51 | .B r | |
52 | The named files | |
53 | are replaced where found on the floppy, or added taking up | |
54 | the minimal possible portion of the first empty spot on the floppy. | |
55 | .TP 8 | |
56 | .B x | |
57 | The named files are extracted from the floppy. | |
58 | .TP 8 | |
59 | .B d | |
60 | The named files are deleted from the floppy. Arff will combine contiguous | |
61 | deleted files into one empty entry in the rt-11 directory. | |
62 | .TP 8 | |
63 | .B t | |
64 | The names of the specified files are listed each time they occur | |
65 | on the floppy. | |
66 | If no file argument is given, | |
67 | all of the names on the floppy are listed. | |
68 | .PP | |
69 | The following characters may be used in addition to the letter | |
70 | which selects the function desired. | |
71 | .TP 10 | |
72 | .B v | |
2c25c95b KM |
73 | The |
74 | .B v | |
75 | (verbose) | |
015c4cb5 | 76 | option, when used with the |
2c25c95b | 77 | .B t |
015c4cb5 | 78 | function gives more information about the |
2c25c95b KM |
79 | floppy entries than just the name. |
80 | .TP 10 | |
81 | .B f | |
82 | causes | |
83 | .I arff | |
84 | to use the next argument as the name of the archive instead | |
85 | of /dev/floppy. | |
86 | .TP 10 | |
87 | .B m | |
88 | causes | |
89 | .I arff | |
90 | not to use the mapping algorithm employed in interleaving sectors | |
91 | around a floppy disk. In conjunction with the | |
92 | .B f | |
93 | option it may be | |
94 | used for extracting files from rt11 formatted cartridge disks, for | |
188baeac MK |
95 | example. |
96 | It may also be used to speed up reading from and writing to | |
015c4cb5 | 97 | rx02 floppy disks, by using the `c' device instead of the `b' device. |
188baeac | 98 | It must be used with TU58 or RL02 media. |
015c4cb5 KM |
99 | .TP 10 |
100 | .B c | |
101 | causes | |
102 | .I arff | |
103 | to create a new directory on the floppy, effectively deleting | |
104 | all previously existing files. | |
2c25c95b KM |
105 | .PP |
106 | .I Flcopy | |
107 | copies | |
108 | the console floppy disk | |
109 | (opened as `/dev/floppy') | |
110 | to a file created in the | |
111 | current directory, named \*(lqfloppy\*(rq, | |
112 | then prints the message | |
113 | \*(lqChange Floppy, hit return when done\*(rq. | |
114 | Then | |
115 | .I flcopy | |
116 | copies the local file back out to the floppy disk. | |
117 | .PP | |
118 | The | |
119 | .B \-h | |
120 | option to | |
121 | .I flcopy | |
122 | causes it to | |
123 | open a file named \*(lqfloppy\*(rq in the current directory | |
124 | and copy it to | |
125 | .I /dev/floppy; | |
126 | the | |
127 | .B \-t | |
128 | option | |
129 | causes only the first | |
130 | .I n | |
131 | tracks to participate in a copy. | |
