NAME
fprocmd, fpro - get or set permissions for directories in the FSP database
SYNOPSIS
fprocmd [ +c|-c|+d|-d|+p|-p|+m|-m ] directory ...
fpro [ +c|-c|+d|-d|+p|-p|+m|-m ] directory ...
DESCRIPTION
If no flags are specified, for each file named in the argument list, fprocmd displays the current permission settings for each directory named. If a flag is present (only one may be specified each time), fprocmd will perform the following operations and display the resulting settings for each named directory:
- +c
-
Give others permission to create new items.
- -c
-
Deny others permission to create new items.
- +d
-
Give others permission to delete old items.
- -d
-
Deny others permission to delete old items. +p Make files in this directory private.
- -p
-
Make files in this directory public (not private).
- +m
-
Give others permission to create subdirectories.
- -m
-
Deny others permission to create subdirectories.
fprocmd will perform csh file name globbing based on file and directory information obtained from the FSP database.
Since user's command shells generally cannot do the proper globbing for this program, it is recommended that user defines a shell alias or function to turn off command shell globbing before running this program. csh example:
alias fpro \(set noglob\; exec fprocmd \!\*\)
ENVIRONMENT
The following variables associate this program with a FSP database:
- FSP_HOST
-
The name or internet number of the machine with the FSP server.
- FSP_PORT
-
The port number of the UDP socket used by the FSP server.
- FSP_LOCALPORT
-
The port number of the UDP socket used by FSP client utilities. The only reason to define this variable is to ensure mutual exclusion of client commands when none of the udp packet multiplexing mechanisms are enabled during compile time. You may pick any number not currently used for other purposes.
- FSP_DIR
-
The current working directory of the client in the FSP database. The root of the database is /.
- FSP_TIMEOUT
-
If this variable is set, it contains the timeout value. The default value is 4. No function if program was compiled without timeout code.
