FLS(1)

NAME
flscmd, fls - list the contents of a FSP database

SYNOPSIS
flscmd [ unix ls flags ] filename ...

fls [ unix ls flags ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

flscmd lists the content of the FSP database. All usual flags and usages for the unix ls command are accepted.

flscmd will perform csh file name globbing based on file and directory information obtained from the FSP database.

Since user's command shells generally cannot do the proper globbing for this program, it is recommended that user defines a shell alias or function to turn off command shell globbing before running this program. csh example:

alias fls \(set noglob\; exec flscmd \!\*\)

ENVIRONMENT

The following variables associate this program with a FSP database:

FSP_HOST
    The name or internet number of the machine with the FSP server.

FSP_PORT
    The port number of the UDP socket used by the FSP server.

FSP_LOCALPORT
    The port number of the UDP socket used by FSP client utilities. The only reason to define this variable is to ensure mutual exclusion of client commands when none of the udp packet multiplexing mechanisms are enabled during compile time. You may pick any number not currently used for other purposes.

FSP_DIR
    The current working directory of the client in the FSP database. The root of the database is /.

FSP_TIMEOUT
    If this variable is set, it contains the timeout value. The default value is 4. No function if program was compiled without timeout code.

BUGS

flscmd is based on 4.3 ls code. It inherits any bugs found in 4.3 ls. In addition, only four pieces of information for each file and directory are available through FSP: name, time, size, and type. All other information that flscmd display are for compatibility purposes only and are forged locally.
