<h1 class="topictitle1">Library file system (QSYS.LIB)</h1>
<div><p>The QSYS.LIB file system supports the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> library
structure. </p>
<div class="section"><p>This file system provides you with access to database files and
all of the other <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> object
types that the library support manages in the system and basic user ASPs.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>In addition, it:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><div class="p"> <ul><li>Supports all user interfaces and programming interfaces that operate on <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> libraries and objects in those
libraries</li>
<li>Supports all programming languages and facilities that operate on database
files</li>
<li>Provides extensive administrative support for managing iSeries server
objects</li>
<li>Supports stream I/O operations on physical file members, user spaces,
and save files</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Before Version 3 of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>,
the QSYS.LIB file system would likely have been known as <em>the</em> iSeries server
file system. Programmers who used languages such as RPG or COBOL and facilities
such as DDS to develop applications were using the QSYS.LIB file system.
System operators who used commands, menus, and displays to manipulate output
queues were using the QSYS.LIB file system, as were system administrators
who were creating and changing user profiles.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>All of these facilities and the applications based on these facilities
work as they did before the introduction of the integrated file system. These
facilities cannot, however, access QSYS.LIB through the integrated file system
interface.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Use QSYS.LIB through the integrated file
system interface</h4><p>The QSYS.LIB file system can be accessed through
the integrated file system interface using either the i5/OS file server or the integrated file
system commands, user displays, and APIs.</p>
<p> In using the integrated file
system interfaces, you should be aware of the following considerations and
limitations.</p>

The QPWFSERVER is an authorization list (object type *AUTL) that provides additional access requirements for all objects in the QSYS.LIB file system being accessed through remote clients.</li>

In general, the QSYS.LIB file system does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase in the names of objects.</li>
