/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.
