Veritas™ File System 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

Either an exact file name or a pattern using a single wildcard character
(*). For example, the pattern “abc*" denotes all files whose names begin
with “abc". The pattern “abc.*" denotes all files whose names are
exactly "abc" followed by a period and any extension. The pattern
“*abc" denotes all files whose names end in “abc", even if the name is
all or part of an extension. The pattern “*.abc" denotes files of any
name whose name extension (following the period) is “abc". The
pattern “ab*c" denotes all files whose names start with “ab" and end
with “c". The first "*" character is treated as a wildcard, while any
subsequent "*" characters are treated as literal text. The pattern cannot
contain "/".
The wildcard character matches any character, including ".", "?", and
"[", unlike using the wildcard in a shell.
The Flags="pattern_flag_value" XML attribute is optional, and
if specified can only have a value of recursive. Specify
Flags="recursive" only if the pattern is a directory. If Flags is
not specified, the default attribute value is nonrecursive. If
Flags="recursive" is specified, the enclosing selection criteria
selects all files in any component directory that is anywhere below
the directory specified by <DIRECTORY> if the component directory
matches the pattern and either of the following is true:
■ <DIRECTORY> is specified and has the recursive flag.
■ <DIRECTORY> is not specified and the directory is anywhere in
the file system.
If the pattern contains the wildcard character (*), wildcard character
matching is performed.
The <PATTERN> criterion is optional, and may be specified more than
once. Only one value can be specified per <PATTERN> element.
<PATTERN>
User name of the file's owner. The user number cannot be specified
in place of the name.
The <USER> criterion is optional, and may be specified more than
once.
<USER>
Group name of the file's owner. The group number cannot be specified
in place of the group name.
The <GROUP> criterion is optional, and may be specified more than
once.
<GROUP>
One or more instances of any or all of the file selection criteria may be specified
within a single SELECT statement. If two or more selection criteria of different
types are specified in a single statement, a file must satisfy one criterion of each
type to be selected.
