1 01/07/87 merge_deckfiles, mdf 2 3 Syntax as a command: mdf path1...3 -output_file deckfile_path 4 5 6 Function: merge three existing deckfiles specified by <path1...3> into 7 an existing or to be created tandd_deck_file. 8 9 10 Arguments: 11 path1....3 12 is the pathname of a tandd_deck_file entry. See "Notes on input 13 paths" below. 14 15 16 17 Control arguments: 18 -brief, -bf 19 suppresses messages from deckfile_manager announcing the 20 deckfile.list and tandd_deck_file that will be used for this 21 request. 22 -output_file deckfile_path, -of deckfile_path 23 specifies that the deckfile_path is the target deckfile to be used 24 for this requests. See "Notes on output path" below. 25 26 27 28 Notes on input paths: The input path is the path of an existing 29 deckfile. This arg maybe an absolute or relative path, or it may be 30 either the string "-system", "-sys", "-working_dir", or "-wd". The 31 "-system" will default to the tandd_deck_file in >system_library_tandd. 32 33 34 35 Notes on -output_file: If the deckfile_path is not given on the 36 request line then the following sequence is used. If a deckfile_path 37 is entered in the deckfile_manager command line, it is used. Otherwise 38 the user is queried for a path of the target deckfile. The user may 39 reply with either a absolute or relative pathname or with the string 40 "-system", "-sys", "-working_dir", or -wd". The user's effective 41 access is checked, and if it is sufficient and the entry does not exist 42 the user is queried as to the creation of the tandd_deck_file or 43 deckfile.list. If the reply is no and the user has sufficient 44 effective access to modify the tandd_deck_file in 45 >system_library_tandd, the user is again query as to its usage. If no 46 tandd_deck_file is found the command is aborted.
