NAME

fsend − send files to the HONEYWELL 6000

SYNOPSIS

fsend [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

Fsend arranges to have one or more UNIX files sent to HONEYWELL GCOS.  GCOS identification must appear in the UNIX password file (see passwd(5)), or be supplied by the −i option.  If no names appear, the standard input is sent; thus fsend may be used as a filter. 

Normally, the catalog on the HONEYWELL file system in which the new file will appear is the same as the UNIX login name of the person who issues the command.  If, however, a user has a different name in the third field of the GCOS “ident card image” (which image is extracted from the UNIX password file; see passwd(5)), this name is taken as the GCOS catalog name.  Whatever GCOS catalog is finally used, the user must have arranged that the user ID “network” has create permission on that catalog, or read and write permission on the individual files.  The latter is more painful but preferred if access to other files in the catalog is to be fully controlled.  This can be accomplished with the GCOS commands:

filsys mc <user ID>,(c)/network/

or

filsys cf <file>,(r,w)/network/,b/<initial-size>,unlimited/

The name of the GCOS file is ordinarily the same as the name of the UNIX file.  When the standard input is sent, the GCOS file is normally taken to be pipe.end. 

The following options, each as a separate argument, (or in the case of −u and −f, as two separate arguments), may appear in any order, but must precede all file name arguments. 

−a Send succeeding files as ASCII (default).  If the last character of the file is not a new-line, one is added.  All other characters are preserved. 

−b Send succeeding files as binary.  Each UNIX byte is right justified in a GCOS byte and the bytes packed into 120-byte logical records (30 GCOS words).  The last record is padded out with NULs. 

−c Make copies of the files to be sent before returning to the user. 

−r Remove the files after sending them. 

−f Use the next argument as the GCOS file name for the succeeding file. 

−i Supply the GCOS “ident card” image as the parameter −iMxxxx,Myyy where Mxxxx is the GCOS job number and Myyy the GCOS bin number. 

−m When transmission is complete, report by mail(1) the so-called snumb of the receiving GCOS job.  The mail is sent by the UNIX daemon; there is no guarantee that the GCOS job ran successfully.  This is the default option. 

−n Do not report the completion of transmission by mail(1).

−o Print the on-line GCOS accounting output. 

−t Toss out the on-line GCOS accounting output.  This is the default option. 

−sn Submit job to GCOS with service grade n (n=1, 2, 3). Default is −s1. 

−u Use the next argument as the GCOS catalog name for all files. 

−x Send succeeding files to be archived by the GCOS archive command. 

EXAMPLE

The command:

fsend −t −u unixsup −b −f gfile ufile

will send the binary UNIX file ufile to become the GCOS file unixsup/gfile, and will not produce any on-line GCOS accounting output.
