<h1 class="topictitle1">Using standard attributes</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Learn about automatically generated directory attributes of the
|
||
|
|
optical file system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Directory entries for files and directories have information that
|
||
|
|
is associated with them called <em>attributes</em>. Each attribute consists
|
||
|
|
of a name and a value. Some attributes generate automatically when creating
|
||
|
|
the directory or file. These attributes are called <em>standard attributes</em>.
|
||
|
|
Standard attributes start with the letter Q for ease of identification. All
|
||
|
|
file systems use standard attributes. Several receive unique interpretation
|
||
|
|
by the optical file system. LAN-attached optical devices have a different
|
||
|
|
interpretation of standard attributes than directly-attached optical devices.
|
||
|
|
The following is a basic definition of the standard attributes and their meaning
|
||
|
|
with respect to optical support.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">QALCSIZE attribute</h4><p>As an output field, QALCSIZE
|
||
|
|
is the number of bytes allocated on optical disk by the file. It will always
|
||
|
|
be 0 for directories.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the QALCSIZE attribute is specified on the
|
||
|
|
Open Stream File during a write request, the media is checked to see if there
|
||
|
|
is enough space available to allocate the amount specified. If there is not
|
||
|
|
enough space available on the optical volume, message CPF1F61, <span class="uicontrol">No
|
||
|
|
free space available on media</span>, is issued. For more information
|
||
|
|
about using this attribute, see <a href="capacitythreshold.htm">Media
|
||
|
|
Capacity and volume threshold</a>. </p>
|

</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">QACCDTTM attribute</h4><p>This attribute is not supported
|
||
|
|
by the optical file system. It is always the same as the file creation date
|
||
|
|
and time (QCRTDTTM).</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">QCRTDTTM attribute</h4><p>This attribute indicates the
|
||
|
|
creation date of a file or directory.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">QWRTDTTM attribute</h4><p>This attribute indicates the
|
||
|
|
last date and time that data was written to an optical file. It does not
|
||
|
|
reflect the date and time that the file attributes were last written.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">QFILATTR attribute</h4><div class="p">Support of this attribute is
|
||
|
|
only by directly-attached optical support devices. The optical interpretation
|
||
|
|
of the file flags is as follows: <ul><li><strong>Read-only file</strong>: i5/OS™ provides full support of this attribute through
|
||
|
|
the optical file system. When setting this attribute to on (1), you cannot
|
||
|
|
delete or overwrite the file.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Hidden file</strong>: i5/OS maintains this attribute for the user application
|
||
|
|
to manage, but does not fully support it by the optical file system. When
|
||
|
|
setting this attribute to ON (1), the optical file system does not recognize
|
||
|
|
the file as hidden. User applications require no special access to files with
|
||
|
|
this attribute on.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>System file</strong>: i5/OS maintains this attribute for the user application
|
||
|
|
to manage; but does not fully support it by the optical file system. When
|
||
|
|
setting this attribute to ON (1), the optical file system does not recognize
|
||
|
|
the file as a system file. User applications require no special access to
|
||
|
|
files with this attribute on.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Changed file</strong>: i5/OS supports this attribute by the optical file system.
|
||
|
|
It is automatically set on (1) when a file is created or written to. You
|
||
|
|
can only set it off(0) by using the Change Directory Entry Attributes (QHFCHGAT)
|
||
|
|
API.</li>
