PCI_ASSIST                     Domain/OS BSD                       PCI_ASSIST




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
     Listing Transparent Files in a Domain Directory

     This example shows how to examine a Domain directory that contains four
     filenames that DOS cannot display.

     PCI_ASSIST - Version 5.0

     Server uasc file extension list from /sys/dpcc/pci_cvrt.dat:
             asm               bak           bat
              c                dat           doc
             ftn                h            lst
             map               pas           txt
             $$$

     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.
