VMS Help  —  DEFRAGMENT  VOLUME  Qualifiers  /EXCLUDE
       /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.
