HELPLIB.HLB  —  DEFRAGMENT  FILE  Qualifiers  /OPTIONS
       /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.
