/OPTIONS={file-spec} /NOOPTIONS (default) The /OPTIONS qualifier provides an alternate method for associating files with the /DORMANT, /EXCLUDE, or /FREQUENT qualifiers. If the list of files for any of these qualifiers is quite large, you can create a separate file that contains this information. Each record in the options file consists of a file name followed by one of the following keywords: o /EXCLUDE-File to be excluded o /FREQUENT-File to be considered frequently accessed o /DORMANT-File to be considered dormant The following example shows the contents of an options file called MYOPTFILE.OPT. This file specifies that all files on the target device called FILE1.EXE are frequent files, all files in the [ARCHIVE] directory are to be excluded, and all files in the [OLDSTUFF] directory and its subdirectories are dormant. FILE1.EXE/FREQUENT [ARCHIVE]*.*;*/EXCLUDE [OLDSTUFF...]*.*;*/DORMANT Files indicated by the /EXCLUDE qualifier and by either the /DORMANT or /FREQUENT qualifier are excluded. Files indicated by the /DORMANT qualifier and by the /FREQUENT qualifier are considered dormant. This rule is applied equally across all files specified in the /OPTIONS file, as well as those associated with these qualifiers on the command line.
