NetWare Glossary
D
Delete right
An object right that grants the right to delete an object from the Directory
tree.
See also: “Rights.”
Delimiter
A symbol or character that signals the beginning or end of a command or of
a parameter within a command.
For example, in the command NCOPY F:*.* G:, the blank space between
F:*.* and G: is a delimiter that marks two distinct parameters.
Other delimiters used in NetWare include the comma (,), the period (.), the
slash (/), the backslash (\), the hyphen (–), and the colon (:).
Device sharing
The shared use of centrally located devices (such as printers, modems, and
disk storage space) by users or software programs.
By attaching a device to a network so that several users or programs can
share it, you can use resources more efficiently.
Director/directory
Directory. A common name for the NetWare Directory database, which
organizes NetWare Directory Services objects in a hierarchical tree structure
called the Directory tree.
See also: “NetWare Directory Services (NDS).”
directory. A component in the NetWare file system, used to contain files and
subdirectories.
See also: “File Systems, NetWare Services.”
Directory and file rights
Rights that control what a trustee can do with a directory or file.
