Appendix B in this guide describes how to transfer files out-of-band (via the dial
telephone network), by means of the
xmodem command.
Displaying the Contents of a File
Use the type command to display the contents of a file. Before displaying a file,
enter
more on to display the file one screen at a time.
Enter the following to display a file:
type [-x]
<vol>
:
<filename>
-x is an optional argument to display the file in hexadecimal format. This allows
files containing nonprintable information to be viewed.
<vol> specifies the slot number of the volume containing the file.
<filename> is the name of the file you are displaying.
The file is displayed in the same format in which it is stored (provided that you do
not enter the
-x argument): binary for log files and ASCII for alias files. Log files
are stored in binary format; use the
log command described in “Logging and
Displaying Event Messages” in Chapter 6 to display a log file in ASCII format.
Examples:
If you enter: The console:
type 2:install.bat Displays the contents of the install.bat file, which is
stored on the volume in Slot 2.
type -x 3:config
Displays the config file, which is stored on the volume in
Slot 3. This file is displayed in hexadecimal format.
