.th EXPORT I 8/12/77 .sh NAME export - copy a file to an Interdata OS/MT disc .sh SYNOPSIS export device file [ recl ] .sh DESCRIPTION Copies the specified file onto the device, which must contain an Interdata OS file system. The OS filename is formed by translating the UNIX filename to uppercase, and taking any characters after the last period as an extension. (Name and extension are truncated to 8 and 3 characters respectively.) The created file will be INDEXED, with a logical record length of .it recl (default 256). Note that .it export does not format the file into fixed-length records: .it recl is used only to initialize the OS directory entry. .sh AUTHOR R Miller .br University of Wollongong .sh "SEE ALSO" dfi(I), import(I) .sh BUGS The OS disc must contain at least one directory block. .br No check is made for already existing files.
