| 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. |

| 89 | Multiple segmented rt11 directories are not yet supported. |
| 90 | .br |
| 91 | Floppy errors are handled ungracefully. |
