Appendix A. NetLS Files

This appendix lists and briefly explains files associated with NetLS. Table A-1 lists these NetLS files:

  • Files included in the software subsystems netls_eoe.sw.netls_eoe (all IRIX Releases) and nck.sw.nck (IRIX Release 5.0 and earlier only)

  • Files that are created automatically by NetLS commands

  • Files that users might create

The first column of Table A-1 lists file names. In cases where a file had one name in IRIX Release 5.0 and earlier and has a different name in IRIX Release 5.0.1 and later, the 5.0.1 name is listed first and the 5.0 name is shown in parentheses. The third column of Table A-1 lists a “file type” that explains the source of each file. The file types are:

1 

Included in netls_eoe.sw.netls_eoe

2 

Included in netls_eoe.sw.netls_eoe in IRIX Release 5.0.1 and later; included in nck.sw.nck in IRIX Release 5.0 and earlier

3

4

5

6
