They +must be in the form 1-6 alphanumerics followed by "." followed by +0-3 alphanumerics. Case distinctions are lost. Only the trailing component +of a pathname is used. +.PP +The function portion of +the key is specified by one of the following letters: +.TP 8 +.B r +The named files +are replaced where found on the floppy, or added taking up +the minimal possible portion of the first empty spot on the floppy. +.TP 8 +.B x +The named files are extracted from the floppy. +.TP 8 +.B d +The named files are deleted from the floppy. Arff will combine contiguous +deleted files into one empty entry in the rt-11 directory. +.TP 8 +.B t +The names of the specified files are listed each time they occur +on the floppy. +If no file argument is given, +all of the names on the floppy are listed. +.PP +The following characters may be used in addition to the letter +which selects the function desired. +.TP 10 +.B v +Normally +.I arff +does its work silently. +The +.B v +(verbose) +option causes it to type the name of each file it treats +preceded by the function letter. +With the +.B t +function, +.B v +gives more information about the +floppy entries than just the name. +.TP 10 +.B f +causes +.I arff +to use the next argument as the name of the archive instead +of /dev/floppy. +.TP 10 +.B m +causes +.I arff +not to use the mapping algorithm employed in interleaving sectors +around a floppy disk. In conjunction with the +.B f +option it may be +used for extracting files from rt11 formatted cartridge disks, for +example. +.SH FILES +/dev/floppy +.SH "SEE ALSO" +``Configuring the Berkeley Virtual Memory Extensions to theUNIX System'' +which describes how to set up boot files on the floppy. +.SH BUGS +Multiple segmented rt11 directories are not yet supported. +.br +Floppy errors are handled ungracefully. +.SH AUTHORS +Keith Sklower, Richard Tuck -- 2.20.1
