NAME

lifls − list contents of a LIF directory

SYNOPSIS

lifls [ option ] name

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NUCLEUS

Origin: HP

DESCRIPTION

Lifls lists the contents of a LIF directory on STDOUT.  The default output format calls for the file names to be listed in multiple columns (as is done by ls(1), except unsorted) if STDOUT is a character special file. If STDOUT is not a teletype, the output format is one file name per line.  Name is a path name to an HP-UX file containing a LIF volume and optional file name.  If name is a volume name, the entire volume is listed.  If name is of the form volume:file, then only the file is listed.  Following options are available and only one option should be specified at any one time. 

−l List in long format, giving volume name, volume size, directory start, directory size, file type, file size, file start, "implementation" field (in hex), date created, last volume and volume number. 

−C Force multiple column output format regardless of STDOUT type. 

−L Will return the content of the "last volume flag" in decimal. 

−i Will return the content of the "implementation" field in hex. 

−v Will return the content of the "volume number" in decimal. 

Note that you should not mount the special file before using lifls.
