DPNS-RM(1) DPNS User Commands DPNS-RM(1)NAME
dpns-rm - remove DPNS files or directories in the name server
SYNOPSIS
dpns-rm [-f] [-i] filename...
dpns-rm [-f] [-i] -r dirname...
DESCRIPTION
dpns-rm removes DPNS files or directories in the name server. For directories either -r or -R must be present. For regular files, it
calls dpns_unlink while for directories, it calls dpns_rmdir.
This requires write permission in the parent directory and the file itself. If write permission on an entry is denied, the standard input
is a terminal and the -f option is not given, the prompt "override write protection" appears and if the response is not y, the entry is not
deleted. Entries directly under a protected directory are never deleted.
path specifies the DPNS pathname. If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-f Do not give an error message if the file/directory does not exist.
-i Request acknowledge before removing each individual entry.
-R Recursive mode (equivalent to -r).
-r Recursive mode.
EXIT STATUS
This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.

dpns-ls - list DPNS name server directory/file entries
SYNOPSIS
dpns-ls [-cdhiLlRTu] [--class] [--comment] [--deleted] [--display_side] [--ds] [--si] path...
DESCRIPTION
dpns-ls lists DPNS name server directory/file entries. If path is a directory, dpns-ls list the entries in the directory; they are sorted
alphabetically.
path specifies the DPNS pathname. If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by the content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable.
OPTIONS -c use time of last metadata modification instead of last file modification.
-d if path is a directory, list the directory entry itself, not the files in that directory.
-h with -l, print sizes in human readable format, using few digits and a suffix k, M, G, T or P to indicate kB, MB, GB, TB or PB
respectively.
-i print the file uniqueid in front of each entry.
-L for symbolic links, print target attributes instead of link attributes.
-l long listing (see below).
-R list the contents of directories recursively.
-T list file segments migrated to tape.
-u use last access time instead of last modification.
--class
print the file class in front of each entry.
--comment
print the comment associated with the entry after the pathname.
--deleted
print also the logically deleted files.
--display_side or --ds
print the vid followed by a slash followed by the media side number. This option is valid only if -T is specified and is useful for
multi-sided media like DVD.
--si use powers of 1000 not 1024 for sizes.
The long list gives the file mode, the number of entries in the directory, the owner in alphabetic form or as a valid numeric ID, the group
in alphabetic form or as a valid numerci ID, the file size, the last modification date and the file name.
The mode is printed as 10 characters, the first one is d for a directory, D for a logically deleted file, l for a symbolic link, m for a
migrated file and - for a regular file. The next 9 characters are three triplets: the first triplet gives read, write and execute/search
permission for the owner, the second triplet for the group and the last one for the others.
r the file is readable
w the file is writable
x the file is executable or the directory is searchable
- permission is not granted
s set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit is on and corresponding execute bit is on
S set-user-ID or set-group-ID bit is on but corresponding execute bit is off
t sticky bit is on
The file segments list gives the file segment status, the copy number, the file segment number, the tape visual identifier, the file
sequence number on tape, the blockid, the segment size, the compression factor and the file name. The segment status can be either - for
an active segment or D for a logically deleted segment.
EXIT STATUS
This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
