UCX NFS (UCP) IMPORT — VMS UCX_1.2

  The IMPORT command copies (and by default converts) a VMS file  to
  a file within an Ultrix File System.  No wildcards are allowed  in
  either the VMS or Ultrix file specification.

  The VMS protection and ownership plus the ULTRIX identity  of  the
  file to be added to the ULTRIX file system requires a  ULTRIX  UID
  and GID, as well  as a  VMS  user_name  (and therefore, UIC). This
  information is provided via the UCX$PROXY database.

  The /HOST, /UID, and /USER_NAME qualifiers  may  be  specified  in
  order to select which record will be accessed from the database.

  The default UCX$PROXY record selection is:

  A.  If the process running UCX$UCP has SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege,
      a UID of 0 and a GID of 1 will be used to select a record from
      the database.  This record will provide the VMS user_name.

  B.  If the process running UCX$UCP does not have SYSPRV or  BYPASS
      privilege, the VMS user_name of the process will  be  used  to
      select a record from the database.  This record  will  provide
      the ULTRIX UID and GID.

  In all cases, SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege is required to  access  a
  UCX$PROXY record whose VMS user_name maps to a UIC which does  not
  match the UIC of the process.

  Format:
    IMPORT vms_file_specification "Ultrix_file_specification"

Additional information available:

/CONVERT/HOST/LOG/MODE/UID/USER_NAME

/CONVERT

  Ultrix files are stored as stream LF files on  VMS.  The  /CONVERT
  qualifier is used to convert VMS record files to stream LF files.
  If the /NOCONVERT qualifier is specified, then no conversion  will
  be provided.

  The default is /CONVERT.

  Format:
    IMPORT /[NO]CONVERT vms_file_specification "pathname"

/HOST

  Selects an entry in the UCX$PROXY database in order to determine the
  ownership of the ULTRIX file.

  The UID and GID fields in the UCX$PROXY entry are used to  establish
  the file's ULTRIX identity, while the user_name  field  is  used  to
  provide the VMS ownership.

  This qualifier may be required if you wish to access an entry in the
  UCX$PROXY database which is not unique with respect to UIC and user-
  name (i.e. the same UID/user_name combination on multiple hosts).

  The /HOST qualifier can be used in  any  combination  with  the /UID
  and /USER_NAME qualifiers.

  Format:
    IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname"  /USER_NAME=vms_username
                                              /HOST=host_name
                                              /UID=ULTRIX_uid

/LOG

  Determines whether or not information is displayed which  describes
  the UCX$PROXY  database  record  that  was  selected  in  order  to
  determine ownership.  Refer to /USER_NAME for a description of root
  directory ownership.

  The default is to  display  the  values  for  the  host,  uid, gid,
  and user_name from the record selected from the UCX$PROXY database.

  Format:
    IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname" /[NO]LOG

/MODE

  Specifies the Ultrix protection code associated with the file.

  Format:
    IMPORT /MODE=number vms_file_specification "pathname"

  The default is that the mode will be taken from the directory that
  the VMS file will be placed into.

/UID

  Selects an entry in the UCX$PROXY database in order to determine the
  ownership of the ULTRIX file.

  The UID and GID fields in the UCX$PROXY entry are used to  establish
  the file's ULTRIX identity, while the user_name  field  is  used  to
  provide the VMS ownership.

  The /HOST qualifier may be required if you wish to access  an  entry
  in the UCX$PROXY database which is not unique with  respect  to  UID
  and user_name (i.e. the same UID/user_name combination  on  multiple
  hosts).

  The /UID qualifier can be used in  any  combination  with  the /HOST
  and /USER_NAME qualifiers.

  Format:
    IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname"  /USER_NAME=vms_username
                                              /HOST=host_name
                                              /UID=ULTRIX_uid

/USER_NAME

  Selects an entry in the UCX$PROXY database in order to determine the
  ownership of the ULTRIX file.

  The UID and GID fields in the UCX$PROXY entry are used to  establish
  the file's ULTRIX identity, while the user_name  field  is  used  to
  provide the VMS ownership.

  The /HOST qualifier may be required if you wish to access  an  entry
  in the UCX$PROXY database which is not unique with  respect  to  UID
  and user_name (i.e. the same UID/user_name combination  on  multiple
  hosts).

  The /USER_NAME qualifier can be used in  any  combination  with  the
  /HOST and /UID qualifiers.

  Format:
    IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname"  /USER_NAME=vms_username
                                              /HOST=host_name
                                              /UID=ULTRIX_uid
