/EXCLUDE=(file-spec[,...])
/NOEXCLUDE (default)
The /EXCLUDE qualifier specifies files to be excluded
from processing. The defragmentation process ignores
files matching the listed file specifications. Any
file indicated in the EXCLUDE list and in either
the FREQUENT or DORMANT lists is excluded from
processing.
The file-spec field allows wildcard characters.
You can specify wildcard characters in place of
the directory name, file name, file type, or file
version number field. The default file-spec for all
wildcard operations is DISK:[000000...]*.*;*. Thus,
specifying *.TMP;* selects all *.TMP;* files on the
entire volume.
NOTE
The defragmentation process always excludes
system files, open files, files excluded in an
options file (/OPTIONS qualifier), and files
excluded using the /IGNORE qualifier.
