.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.
