SHOW
• Terminal characteristics for terminals currently active on a multiterminal system
• Logical-disk subsetting
• Device handler status
• If you are running the Error Logger, QUEUE, or SPOOL, the SHOW command
can provide information on:
— Errors
— The update status of files waiting to be sent to an output device
— User-defined commands
Specifying SHOW Without an Option
If you specify SHOW without an option, SHOW displays your system’s device
assignments. The devices the system lists are those known by the RT–11 monitor
currently running. This list reflects any additions or deletions you have made
with the INSTALL and REMOVE commands. The listing also includes additional
information about devices. For example, an asterisk next to a device indicates you
have assigned that device to be a default device. A default device is created by using
the ASSIGN dev * .
