NAME
pci_assist - lists Domain filenames and directories transparent to DOS
SYNOPSIS
pci_assist directory_name [-a] [-i]
DESCRIPTION
This command enables you to list text file extensions contained in the
pci_cvrt.dat file and all Domain/OS file and directory names that DOS
cannot display. The pci_assist command must be entered at a UNIX or an
Aegis shell prompt.
OPTIONS
directory_name Indicates the name of the directory you want pci_assist to
examine. If you omit this option, pci_assist examines
your current directory.
-a Displays the list of text file extensions listed in the
pci_cvrt.dat file, if that file is in the directory being
examined or the /sys/dpcc directory.
-i Displays all the Domain/OS objects that DOS cannot see
(invisible objects).
If you do not specify any options, pci_assist displays the list of
extensions contained in the pci_cvrt.dat file and all the Domain/OS names
that DOS cannot display.
EXAMPLE

Domain Objects with NO EQUIVALENT DOS name:
Domain Name DOS Name
____________________ _____________
monthly reports none
user_data none
file.abc.bak none
ab++c none
DOS cannot display the files monthly_reports or user_data because their
names have more than eight characters. DOS cannot display the file
file.abc.bak because it has more than one period. And, it cannot display
the file ab++c because it contains characters that are illegal in DOS.
