Displays dates. (For example, DD-MMM-YY is the USA default).
Specifies an output file or device for LIST; by default, LIST outputs to the current window.
Lists only files timestamped on or after the specified date.
Lists only files timestamped on or before the specified date.
The LFORMAT option modifies the output of LIST and can be used as a quick method of generating script files. When using LFORMAT, specify an output format string; this string is output for each file or directory normally listed. It can contain any text you specify, plus the usual LIST output information. When LFORMAT is specified, the QUICK and NOHEAD options are automatically selected. To save the output, you must redirect it to a file by using the > operator or specifying a TO file. (For examples using the LIST LFORMAT option, see Chapter 8.)
The available substitution operators are:
You can put a length specifier and/or a justification specifier between the percent sign (%) and the field specifier. To specify left justification, place a minus sign (-) before the length specifier. Otherwise, the information displayed is right justified.
The default output of the LIST command uses the following specification:
Prefs Dir ----rwed 27-Jun-93 11:43:59
T Dir ----rwed 16-Jul-93 11:37:43
Trashcan Dir ----rwed 21-Jun-93 17:54:20
Only the directories in the current directory, in this case SYS:, are listed. (A shortened version of the typical output is shown above.)
LIST searches for any directories or files that start with LI. The output of LIST is sent to Libs.file in RAM:.
1> LIST DF0:Documents UPTO 09-Oct-90
Only the files or directories in the Documents directory of DF0: that have not been changed since October 9, 1990 are listed.
For further examples using the LIST command, see Chapter 8.
Preloads resources into memory to avoid excessive disk swaps.
LOADRESOURCE reduces the need for excessive disk swaps on floppy-only systems by preloading the following of resources into memory:
Specify the path name to the device; you cannot LOCK devices into memory. |
|
Specify a path name as LOCALE:Catalogs/<language>/Sys/<catalog>. |
The {<name>} option specifies the paths of the resources to load. The LOCK option tells the command to lock resources, such as libraries, fonts, and catalogs, into memory. This prevents the system from flushing the resource from RAM if memory is low. Although you can preload devices into memory using LOADRESOURCE, you cannot force them to stay in memory using the LOCK option. The UNLOCK option tells the command to unlock the resource from memory, allowing it to be flushed from RAM.
Entering LOADRESOURCE with no options lists all the LOCKed resources in RAM.
loads asl.library into memory. The system can flush this library from RAM the next time it runs low on memory, unless the LOCK option is included in the command line.
loads the Topaz 11 font into memory.
LOADRESOURCE LOCALE:Catalogs/English/Sys/monitors.catalog
