BAFT - display information about a file or files in the AFT.

Syntax:

baft [aftname]* [(+|-)Verbose] [Userid=user]
    [Lineid=7777] [Drunid=9999d] [+Zdebug]

Examples:

baft temp
baft drun=7214
baft +v

Options:

aftname: is the name of a file in the AFT. More than one name may appear on the command line.
-Verbose: only displays the names of the files in the AFT and does not include detailed information. The names are printed across the page.
+Verbose: indicates you want more detailed information. BAFT assumes this option if you give a specific aftname.
Userid=user, Lineid=7777, Drunid=9999d: specify which AFT you want to examine. BAFT scans the list of current users for the first UST that matches all the specified selection options. If you do not specify any of the above options, BAFT displays information on the AFT of the current terminal session. You need LODS privilege to examine an AFT belonging to another userid. The trailing "d" of a drun id is optional.

Description:

BAFT displays information about files in the AFT. If you do specify an aftname, BAFT begins by displaying a title line. This line gives the number of files in the AFT. If you specify one of the selection options, BAFT also displays the userid and line id or drun number.

If you do not specify -Verbose, BAFT displays a line of the form

aftname size r|s p|t *|n pos dev perm pathname

for each file. These fields have the following meanings:

aftname

is the 8 character ASCII file name.

size

is the size of the file in llinks. If the file is larger than 16383 llinks, BAFT may not be able to determine the size, and displays ">16383" instead.

r|s

indicates whether the file is random or sequential.

p|t

indicates whether the file is permanent or temporary.

*|n

n: File is null.
*: Permanent file that has changed since file was accessed.

pos

gives the current llink seek position. This may be followed by a * indicating that the value is relative to the descriptors in core and is not an absolute position in the file.

dev

is the 3 character device name where the file resides.

perm

gives the permissions with which the file is accessed.

pathname

is the actual name of the file in the file system.

The file position and all information to the right of the file position is given only if you specify +Verbose or if you give a specific aftname.
