PCI_ASSIST                                                          PCI_ASSIST



NAME
     pci_assist - lists Domain filenames and directories transparent to DOS

SYNTAX
     pci_assist directory_name [-a] [-i]

DESCRIPTION
     This command enables you to list text file extensions in the pci_cvrt.dat
     file and all Domain/OS file and directory names that DOS cannot display.
     Before running the pci_assist command, you need to be using the DPCI
     terminal emulator, DTERM.  The pci_assist command needs to be entered at
     an Aegis or UNIX shell prompt.

OPTIONS
     directory_name Indicates the name of the directory you want pci_assist to
                    examine.  If you omit this option, pci_assist examines
                    your current directory.

     -a             Displays the list of text file extensions listed in the
                    pci_cvrt.dat file, if that file is in the directory being
                    examined or if it's in the /sys/dpci directory.

     -i             Displays all the Domain/OS objects DOS cannot see
                    (invisible objects).

     If you do not specify any options, pci_assist displays the list of
     extensions in the pci_cvrt.dat file and all the Domain/OS names that DOS
     cannot display.

EXAMPLES
     Listing Transparent Files in a Domain Directory

     This example shows the result of examining a Domain directory that
     contains four filenames that DOS cannot display.

     $  pci_assist

     PCI_ASSIST - Version 5.0
     Server UASC file extension list from
     /sys/dpcc/pci_cvrt.dat:
           asm          bak       bat
            c           dat       doc
           ftn           h        lst
           map          pas       txt
           $$$
     Domain Objects with NO EQUIVALENT DOS name:

     Domain_Name_____          DOS_Name__
     monthly reports           none
     user_data                 none
     file.abc.bak              none
     ab++c                     none

     DOS cannot display the files monthly_reports or user_data because their
     names have more than eight characters.  DOS cannot display the file
     file.abc.bak because it has more than one period.  And, it cannot display
     the file ab++c because it contains characters that are illegal in DOS.
