VLX(1M)  —  UNIX 3.0

NAME

vlx − VAX-11/780 LSI console floppy interface

SYNOPSIS

vlx key [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

Vlx is used to maintain the console floppy.  The floppy is in DEC RT-11 format.  Hence, a file name is restricted to a 1- to 6-character alphanumeric name optionally followed by a .  character separator and a 1- to 3-character alphanumeric extension.  Upper and lower cases are mapped together.  Only the last component of a path name is used. 

Key is one character from the set drtx, optionally concatenated with one or both of vf.  The meanings of the key characters are:

d Delete the named files from the floppy. 

r Replace the named files on the floppy. 

t Print a table of contents of the floppy.  If no names are given, all files are tabled.  If names are given, only those files are tabled. 

x Extract the named files from the floppy.  If no names are given, all files are extracted. 

v Verbose.  When used with t, it gives a long listing of all information about the files.  When used with x, it precedes each file with a name. 

f Use the next name as the floppy file name, instead of the default /dev/conflp. 

FILES

/dev/conflpconsole floppy
