Qshell Interpreter (qsh) - FTP Directory Listing - IBM

Operands
-D | —nodirs
Suppress directory entries. Used when adding files and creating jars.
-M | —no-manifest
Do not create a manifest.
-N | —neverWrite
Never overwrite any files when extracting.
The jarfile operand specifies the pathname of the jar file being operated on. jarfile
must be an Integrated File System (IFS) name.
The file operand specifies the pathname of a file or directory. file must be an IFS
name.
The pattern operand specifies a pattern to match pathnames of files and directories.
pattern will match to IFS names. A pattern is a sequence of characters containing
one or more of the following meta characters:
* matches 0 or more characters
? matches any single character
[...] matches any single character found within the brackets where “...”
represents a set of characters. Ranges are specified by a beginning
character, a hyphen, and an ending character. A exclamation (’!’) or carrot
(’|’) following the left bracket means the characters within the brackets are
complemented (match anything except the characters within the brackets).
Patterns must be contained within quotes or the meta characters must be preceded
by a back slash (’\’) to prevent Qshell from interpreting them.
The file and pattern operands are used to select the files to be acted upon.
Selected files are determined using three sets of files, a candidate set, an exclusion
set, and an inclusion set.
candidate set
The candidate set is determined using the operands listed after jarfile and
before any -x or -i. For the list and extract actions the candidate set defaults
to all files contained in the jar file. For all other actions there is no default
value for the candidate set.
exclusion set
The exclusion set is determined using all lists of file and pattern operands
preceded by a -x and followed by another -x, a -i or the end of the
command string. The exclusion set defaults to the empty set.
inclusion set
The inclusion set is determined using all lists of file and pattern operands
preceded by a -i and followed by another -i, a -x or the end of the
command string. The inclusion set defaults to all files in the candidate set.
All candidate files are selected that are in the inclusion set and not in the exclusion
set.
