END-ACCESS command

The END-ACCESS command terminates your ownership rights to an accessed
directory, as well as group rights borrowed from its owner.


Format

     @END-ACCESS (TO DIRECTORY) dev:<directory>

     where:

     dev:<directory>     is the directory to which  you  want  to  end
                         access.

                              Default dev: - your connected structure

                              Default <directory> - the directory  (on
                                                    the      specified
                                                    structure) of  the
                                                    same  name as your
                                                    connected
                                                    directory


Hints

     Implicit END-ACCESS

          You can access only one directory at a time on each  mounted
          structure.   Each ACCESS command ends access obtained by any
          previous ACCESS command for a  directory  on  the  specified
          structure.  Therefore you do not need to give the END-ACCESS
          command if you access another directory on the structure, or
          if the structure is dismounted.

     Restoring Previous Rights

          END-ACCESS does not restore owner and group rights  obtained
          by  a  previous  ACCESS command for the specified structure.
          Give another ACCESS command to regain these.  (Note that you
          must  access  your  log-in  directory to regain group rights
          obtained by the LOGIN command,  lost  by  accessing  another
          directory on the public structure.

Examples

     1.  Give up your access rights to another user's directory.

         @END-ACCESS <HOLLAND>

     2.  Access another user's directory, copy a  file  from  it,  and
         give  up your rights to it.  Then give a command that depends
         on your own  group  rights.   (It  fails.)  Access  your  own
         directory   to  establish  these,  and  repeat  the  command,
         successfully this time.

         @ACCESS <HOLLAND>
         Password:___
         @COPY <HOLLAND>DIST.LST
          <HOLLAND>DIST.LST.2 => DIST.LST.2 [OK]
         @END-ACCESS <HOLLAND>
         @INFORMATION DIRECTORY <LATTA.*>,
         ?No such directory
         @ACCESS <LATTA>
         @INFORMATION DIRECTORY <LATTA.*>,
         @@NAME-ONLY
         @@
          Name PS:<LATTA.A>
          Name PS:<LATTA.A.F-O>

     3.  Mount a structure, and access a user's directory there.   Get
         a  listing  of  his  files  of type .TXT.  End the access and
         dismount the structure.

         @MOUNT STRUCTURE SNARK:
         Structure SNARK: mounted
         @ACCESS SNARK:<HOLLAND>
         Password:___
         @DIRECTORY SNARK:<HOLLAND>*.TXT

          ACCT.TXT.1
