The bit file is used to contain a free / reserved map of the pages on the device medium. Unit is page offset in octal. Default = the file system will select a medium dependent optimal value. Note that for system disks a number of contiguous files must be placed in a certain order, from page 0, and the bitfile should be placed in the middle of the remaining area. For non-system disks and floppy disks the default can be used. (The System Supervisor manual contains more information on this parameter).

Tingo: created page for the CREATE-DIRECTORY command

created page for the CREATE-DIRECTORY command

New page

@CREATE-DIRECTORY <directory name>, <device name>, [<unit>], [<'F' or 'R'>], <subunit>, <bit file address>
Create a new directory on a device. The old directory is destroyed and all files are lost.
; <directory name> : the name which will be written onto the new directory. A maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters, including the character, are legal.
; <device name> : the name of the mass storage device controller on which the device unit is connected. See {{ND-doc|60.128.01}} Appendix F for legal names.
; <unit> : the unit number. Only to be specified if [[SINTRAN III]] is generated with multiple units. Unit number starts at 0 (zero) octal, default is 0 (zero).
; <'F' or 'R'> : F = a fixed cartridge disk pack. R = a removable cartridge disk pack. Otherwise, the parameter is not used.
; <subunit> : applies only to big cartridge disk.
; <bit file address> : may be specified if the user wants to place the bit file in a specific area on the medium. The bit file is used to contain a free / reserved map of the pages on the device medium. Octal. Default = the file system will select a medium dependent optimal value (The System Supervisor manual contains more information on this parameter).

Rules:
#Permitted only for user SYSTEM when disk, for all users when floppy disk.
#Fixed or removable is specified only for 10MB cartridge disks.
#if SINTRAN is configured with only one unit (number 0), the <unit> parameter must be omitted (together with the comma).

Example:

@CREATE-DIRECTORY PACK-ONE, DI-1-1, 1, F

A directory named PACK-ONE is created on cartridge disk controller 1, unit 1, fixed pack.
