NAME

liﬂs - list contents of a LIF directory

SYNOPSIS

lifls [ option ] name

DESCRIPTION

lifls lists the contents of a LIF directory on standard output. The default output format lists ﬁle names

in multiple columns (similar to ls(1), except unsorted) if standard output is a character special ﬁle. If stan-

dard output is not a tty device, the output format is one ﬁle name per line. name is a path name to an HP-

UX ﬁle containing a LIF volume and optional ﬁle name. If name is a volume name, the entire volume is

listed. If name is of the form volume

:ﬁle, only the ﬁle is listed. The following options are available, and

only one option should be speciﬁed with a given command:

-l List in long format, giving volume name, volume size, directory start, directory size, ﬁle type,

ﬁle size, ﬁle start, "implementation" ﬁeld (in hex), date created, last volume, and volume

number.

-C Force multiple column output format regardless of standard output type.

-L Return the content of the "last volume ﬂag" in decimal.

-i Return the content of the "implementation" ﬁeld in hex.

-v Return the content of the "volume number" in decimal.

-b blist

Report only on ﬁles using block numbers speciﬁed on the command line in blist, a comma

separated list of block numbers in DEV_BSIZE units.

Do not mount the special ﬁle while using

lifls.

DIAGNOSTICS

lifls returns zero if the directory was listed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic and returns

nonzero.
