The following examples show different ways to defragment a
file or group of files and illustrate how to use the common
qualifiers.
1.
$ DEFRAGMENT FILE *.C
This command defragments all files with a .C extension on the
user's current default device. That is, the device portion of the
directory specification returned from a DCL SHOW DEFAULT command.
The RMS default string is [000000...]*.*;*.
2.
DFO> DEFRAGMENT FILE *.C
This command defragments all files with a .C extension on the
user's current default device. The only difference between this
command and the previous example is that this command is entered
from within the Disk File Optimizer utility instead of from
the DCL prompt.
3.
$ DEFRAGMENT FILE *.C/VOLUME=SYS$SYSDEVICE:
This command is the same as the previous one, except that the RMS
default string is now SYS$SYSDEVICE:[000000...]*.C;*.
4.
$ DEFRAGMENT FILE SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM;2/EXCLUDE=*.OLD;*
This command defragments the user's LOGIN.COM file and excludes
all files with a .OLD extension.
5.
$ DEFRAGMENT FILE/INHERIT=OTHER_FILE_SCRIPT.NOAFTER
This commands creates a file script identical to the OTHER_
FILE_SCRIPT and allows the Disk File Optimizer to name
it (DFG$XXX).
6.
$ DEFRAGMENT FILE *.RDB/INHERIT=X
$_/SCRIPT=Y/VOLUME=SYS$SYSTEM
This command creates a script called Y that defragments all RDB
files on SYS$SYSTEM. Other script characteristics, such as log
file, are inherited from script X.
