11 Control arguments:
12 -directory_mapping mapping_rule, -drm mapping_rule
13 sets the directory mapping to use the specified mapping_rule. The
14 following mapping rules are allowed: umc, smc, and wd. The default
15 is wd.
16 -gcos_debug_pathname path, -gdbpn path
17 sets the path of the control file to be used when the gcos_debug
18 command is invoked. If path is not specified a Default of
19 >udd>Project_id>Person_id>Person_id.gdb is used.
20 -modes modes_string
21 sets the modes, according to modes_string. Mode names are separated
22 by commas, each one optionally preceded by a circumflex ^ to turn
23 the specified mode off. Modes not specified in modes_string are
24 left unchanged.
25
26
27 ast
28 prints the asterisk for each input request in GTSS build mode.
29 When off, no prompt character is given. Default is on
30 drl
31 prints trace information on each derail. The derail name and
32 its location are printed. Default is off
33 gdb
34 gcos_debug breaks are inserted in slave object code as it is
35 loaded. The gcos_debug command is invoked when such a break is
36 encountered during execution. Default is off
37 mcmd
38 allows the use of the e request at GTSS command level. When
39 allowed, the remainder of the input line is passed on to the
40 Multics command processor. Default is off
41
42
43 mquit
44 GTSS goes to a new Multics command level in response to the quit
45 or break key. When off, depressing the quit key on the
46 terminal resets the current GCOS time sharing subsystem function
47 and returns to GTSS command level. Default is off
48 ss
49 prints trace information about each subsystem call. The
50 subsystem name is printed. Default is off
51 -print, -pr
52 displays on the user_output switch the current control information
53 set by this command. If there are multiple control arguments,
54 -print is the last one processed.
55 -reset, -rs
56 sets all modes to the default.
57
58
59 -smc_pathname path, -spn path
60 sets path as the root directory to be used when catalog/file strings
61 are mapped into Multics pathnames using the system master catalog
62 SMC directory mapping rule. This control argument is required
63 when -directory_mapping smc is specified.
64 -umc_name name, -unm name
65 sets the user master catalog UMC name to be used for catalog/file
66 string operations where UMC name is only implied. Name may be given
67 in upper or lowercase, but otherwise is equivalent to the user's
68 GCOS login USERID. This control argument is required when
69 -directory_mapping umc or -directory_mapping smc is specified. The
70 UMC name is mapped to lowercase for use in constructing Multics
71 pathnames.
72
73
74 Notes: The user must have at least status access to the directory
75 implied by the directory mapping_rule and to its containing directory.
76
77 If any error is detected by the gcos_set_environment command, no
78 changes are made to any of the user-controlled runtime parameters.
