DESCRIPTION

The store command sets the storage attribute for files in user-replicated
filesystems.  The site parameter is a site name or site number.  The special
name all refers to all present and future storage sites for the file.  If a -
precedes a site list, those sites are removed from the storage mask (the fstore
field in the inode).  If it is preceded by a +, those sites are added to the
storage mask.  If the site list is not preceded by a + or - modifier, the
storage mask is set to exactly those sites.  Additional site list arguments are
combined, the effect being as if separate commands were done in the same order.

If the file list is empty or consists of a single -, the standard input is read
for a list of file names.  Otherwise, a single - argument can be used at the
start of the file list to signal the end of the site lists.  The - option is
useful when file names begin with a "-" and might otherwise be mistaken as site
list arguments.

EXAMPLE

  store +alpha,beta myfile

This example causes the myfile to be replicated on sites named alpha and beta.

DIAGNOSTICS

If a given file is stored in a non-replicated or system-replicated filesystem,
an error is given.

If the command is unable to change the storage mask on a file, an error message
is displayed on the standard error and the command exits with a status of -1.
