File specifications provide the system with the information
necessary to identify a unique file or device. File
specifications have the following format:
node::device:[directory]filename.type;version
The punctuation marks are required to separate the fields of the
file specification. These fields are:
node Network node name
device Device name
directory Directory name
filename File name
type File type
version File version number
$ COPY GREEN::DISK1:[JONES]BUSINESS_REPORT.TXT;4
_To: BUSINESS_REPORT.TXT
This example shows how a file is specified when using the COPY
command to copy a file to the current directory from another
user's directory on another node.
