Use of the standard VMS * and % wildcards within Peek/Spy nodename
specifications is based on the correct configuration of the
logical name PEEK_WILDCARD_NODES.
This logical name is used by Peek/Spy to determine which DECnet
nodes are available to be checked for a wildcard match during a
wildcarded nodename operation.
The multi-valued logical PEEK_WILDCARD_NODES should equate to
the actual nodenames available to be checked, in the order they
should be accessed, during a wildcarded nodename operation.
The logical name PEEK_WILDCARD_NODES can be defined by the
PEEK_DEFAULTS.COM file when starting up PEEK. PEEK_DEFAULTS.COM
contains an example of the use of this logical name to control
use of wildcarded nodenames.
The PEEK_WILDCARD_NODES logical name as defined by PEEK_DEFAULTS.COM
can also be superceded in any of the logical-name tables specified in
LNM$PEEK_TABLE_SEARCH_LIST which is defined in PEEK_DEFAULTS.COM.
This allows customization, for individual users or groups of users,
of the nodes which are checked during wildcarded nodename operations.
Example: $ DEFINE PEEK_WILDCARD_NODES NODE_A,NODE_F,NODE_C
Placing the above command into one's LOGIN.COM would direct PEEK
to check the nodes NODE_A, NODE_F and NODE_C, in that order,
during a wildcarded nodename operation, to see if they match the
wildcarded nodename specified in a PEEK command.
