TYPE
where:
dd specifies the day (a decimal integer in the range 1–31.)
mmm specifies the first three characters of the name of the month.
yy specifies the year (a decimal integer in the range 73–99.)
The default value for the date is the current system date. If you omit any of the
date values (dd, mmm, or yy), RT–11 uses the values from the current system date.
For example, if you specify only the year 90 and the current system date is May 4,
1991, RT–11 uses the date 4:MAY:90. If the current date is not set, it is considered
0 (the same as for an undated file in a directory listing).
If you have selected timer support through the system generation process, but have
not selected automatic end-of-month date advancement, make sure that you set the
date at the beginning of each month with the DATE command. If you fail to set the
date at the beginning of each month, the system prints -BAD- in the creation date
column of each file created beyond the end-of-month. (Note that you can eliminate
-BAD- by using the RENAME/SETDATE command after you set the date.)
Options
/BEFORE[:date]
Displays on the terminal all files on a specified volume created before a specified
date. The following command displays only those MAC files on DK created before
March 24, 1991:
.TYPE/BEFORE:24:MAR:91 *.MAC
/COPIES:value
Lists more than one copy of the file. The meaningful range of values for the
value argument is from 2 to 32
10
(1 is the default). The following command, for
example, displays three copies of the file REPORT.LST on the terminal:
.TYPE/COPIES:3 REPORT
/DATE[:date]
Displays on the terminal only those files with a certain creation date. If no date
is specified, the current system date is used. The following command prints on
the console all MAC files on DK created on March 20, 1991:
.TYPE/DATE:20:MAR:91 DK:*.MAC
/DELETE
Deletes a file after it is typed on the terminal. This option must appear following
the command in the command line. The TYPE/DELETE operation does not ask
you for confirmation before it executes. You must use /QUERY if you want to be
asked about each file to be displayed and deleted.
