.TITLE ^^LIBMAN -- A LIBRARY FILE MANIPULATION PROGRAM %3\\
.FIRST TITLE
.PARAGRAPH
<LIBMAN IS A PROGRAM TO CONSOLIDATE MULTIPLE FILES INTO A SINGLE LARGE
FILE FOR STORAGE, WITH THE ABILITY TO SUBSEQUENTLY SEPARATE THE FILES.
^USE OF <LIBMAN WILL HELP ALLEVIATE DISK STORAGE PROBLEMS DUE TO ALLOCATION
BEING DONE IN MULTIPLES OF THE CLUSTER SIZE (NORMALLY 5 BLOCKS).  ^FOR
INSTANCE, TEN ONE-BLOCK FILES COUNT FOR FIFTY BLOCKS IN TOTAL ALLOCATION.
^IF THESE WERE PLACED IN A <LIBMAN LIBRARY FILE, IT WOULD COUNT FOR THE
TEN DATA BLOCKS, AND TEN STORAGE INFORMATION BLOCKS,
FOR A TOTAL OF TWENTY BLOCKS (THIS WOULD COUNT FOR TWENTY-FIVE BLOCKS
IN TOTAL ALLOCATION).
.PARAGRAPH
^WHEN SPECIFYING FILES IN <LIBMAN COMMANDS, A FULL FILE SPECIFICATION
(DEVICE, FILE, EXTENSION, PPN, /<PROTECT:XXX, AND /<VERSION:V) MAY BE
USED.  ^HOWEVER, ONLY THE FILENAME AND THE EXTENSION HAVE SIGNIFICANCE
IN DETERMINING THE PRE-EXISTENCE OF A FILE IN THE LIBRARY.  ^DISK INPUT
AND OUTPUT FILES DEFAULT TO <DSK:[-] (YOUR DIRECTORY) UNLESS EXPLICITLY
SPECIFIED IN THE COMMAND.
.PARAGRAPH
^LIBRARIES ARE MANIPULATED BY <LIBMAN USING VERB-LIKE COMMANDS.
^COMMANDS ARE (WORD IN SQUARE BRACKETS INDICATES MINIMUM ABBREVIATION
WHICH CAN BE USED FOR A COMMAND):
.LIST
.LE;<ADD "FILES" [<A]
.BREAK
^ADD THE FILES SPECIFIED IN "FILES" TO THE CURRENT LIBRARY.
^ANY FILES ALREADY EXISTING IN THE LIBRARY WILL NOT BE ADDED, AND
A WARNING WILL BE ISSUED.  ^NO WARNING WILL BE ISSUED IF THE FILE
SPECIFCATION HAD A WILD CARD (* OR ?) IN IT.  <LIBMAN WILL NOT ALLOW
YOU TO ADD A FILE TO THE LIBRARY WHICH HAS THE SAME NAME AS THE LIBRARY
ITSELF.  ^IN ADDITION, <LIBMAN WILL CHECK THE /<BEFORE/SINCE/ABEFORE/ASINCE
SWITCH SETTINGS (IF GIVEN) FOR ANY FILES TO BE ADDED TO THE LIBRARY.
.LE;<CREATE LIBNAM [<CR]
.BREAK
^CREATE A LIBRARY WITH THE NAME LIBNAM.  ^THIS LIBRARY WILL BE USED
UNTIL THE NEXT <USE OR <CREATE COMMAND.
.LE;<COPY "FILES" [<C]
.BREAK
^COPIES THE FILES IN "FILES" OUT OF THE LIBRARY INTO THE USER'S DIRECTORY.
^IF NO OUTPUT FILES ARE SPECIFIED, THE FILES WILL HAVE THE SAME NAMES
AS THEY DO IN THE LIBRARY FILE.  ^SEE THE <DSUPERSEDE VERB DESCRIPTION.
.LE;<DELETE "FILES" [<DEL]
.BREAK
^DELETE THE FILES SPECIFIED BY "FILES" FROM THE LIBRARY.
.LE;<DIRECT <OFILE.EXT="LIST" [<DI]
.BREAK
^GIVE A DIRECTORY OF THE FILES IN "LIST" (THE WHOLE LIBRARY IF NO "LIST")
TO THE SPECIFIED <OFILE.EXT.  ^IF NO OUTPUT FILE IS SPECIFIED, THE DIRECTORY
IS PUT ON THE USER'S TERMINAL.
.LE;<DSUPERSEDE ARG [<DS]
.BREAK
^SPECIFY THE ACTION <LIBMAN IS TO TAKE WHEN A <COPY IS ISSUED TO WRITE
A DISK FILE OVER AN ALREADY EXISTING COPY.  ^IF NO <DSUPERSEDE VERB HAS
BEEN ISSUED, <LIBMAN WILL USE THE VALUE OF THE <SUPERSEDE VERB, AND IF
THAT HAS ALSO NOT BEEN ISSUED, THE DEFAULT IS <DSUPERSEDE <OLDER. ^ARG
MAY BE ONE OF:
.LIST
.LE;<ALWAYS
.BREAK
^ALWAYS SUPERSEDE THE EXISTING DISK COPY.  ^THIS PERMITS <LIBMAN TO
RUN SLIGHTLY FASTER SINCE IT DOES NOT HAVE TO CHECK THE EXISTENCE OF
THE DISK FILE.
.LE;<NEVER
.BREAK
^NEVER SUPERSEDE THE EXISTING COPY ON THE DISK.
.LE;<OLDER
.BREAK
^SUPERSEDE THE EXISTING COPY ONLY IF THE COPY OF THE FILE ON THE DISK
IS OLDER THAN THE COPY IN THE LIBRARY.  ^THIS IS THE DEFAULT IF NO
<DSUPERSEDE VERB HAS BEEN ISSUED.
.END LIST
.LE;<DVERSION "FILES" [<DV]
.BREAK
^THIS COMMAND ALLOWS YOU TO SET THE VERSION OR PROTECTION OF DISK
FILES NOT IN THE LIBRARY.  ^IT ALLOWS WILDCARDING, BUT DOES NOT ALLOW
FOR FILENAME OR EXTENSION RENAMEING.  ^YOU MAY ONLY CHANGE THE PROTECTION
AND/OR THE VERSION OF THE FILES WITH THIS COMMAND.
.LE;<FILDIR (COMMAND) [<F]
.BREAK
^RUN <DIRECT TO GET A DISK FILE DIRECTORY.  (^COMMAND) MAY CONSIST OF
ANYTHING THAT IS LEGAL ON THE INPUT SIDE OF A <DIRECT COMMAND (I.E. /^F/^W OR
*.<REL, ETC.).  <DIRECT WILL RERUN <LIBMAN WHEN IT IS DONE.  ^THE LAST
LIBRARY USED WILL BE REMEMBERED (SEE COMMAND NOTES).
.LE;<LSUPERSEDE ARG [<LS]
.BREAK
^SPECIFY THE ACTION <LIBMAN IS TO TAKE WHEN ^^REPLACE\\ING FILES IN THE
LIBRARY WITH THE <REPLACE COMMAND.  ^IF NO <LSUPERSEDE VERB HAS BEEN
ISSUED, THE VALUE OF THE <SUPERSEDE VERB IS USED.  ^IF NO <SUPERSEDE
HAS BEEN GIVEN, THE DEFAULT IS <LSUPERSEDE OLDER.  ^ARG MAY BE ONE OF:
.LIST
.LE;<ALWAYS
.BREAK
^ALWAYS SUPERSEDE THE COPY IN THE LIBRARY WITH THE DISK COPY.
.LE;<OLDER
.BREAK
^ONLY SUPERSEDE THE COPY IN THE LIBRARY IF IT IS OLDER THAN THE COPY
ON THE DISK.
.END LIST
.LE;<ONEOUT OFILE.EXT="LIST" [<ON]
.BREAK
^CREATE THE SPECIFIED OUTPUT FILE WHICH IS A CONCATENATION OF THE SPECIFIED
INPUT FILES.
.LE;<READ <LIBNAM [<REA]
.BREAK
^SETUP TO USE THE SPECIFIED LIBRARY FILE IN READ-ONLY MODE.  ^THIS ALLOWS
YOU TO EXTRACT FILES, TYPE FILES, AND GET DIRECTORIES OF LIBRARIES IN
AN AREA IN WHICH YOU CANNOT WRITE (<LIBMAN CHECKS WRITE-ACCESS PRIVS FOR
<USE AND <CREATE COMMANDS) OR ON DEVICES OTHER THAN DISK (<LIBMAN WILL
NOT <ADD OR <DELETE FILES ON DEVICES OTHER THAN DISK).
.LE;<REPLACE "FILES" [<R]
.BREAK
^FOR EACH FILE IN THE LIST OF "FILES", REPLACE THE EXISTING COPY
IN THE LIBRARY WITH THE NEW COPY.  ^THIS ACTION IS CONTROLLED BY
THE <LSUPERSEDE VERB.
.LE;<REMEMBER [<REM]
.BREAK
^SPECIFY WHETHER TO <REMEMBER THE LIBRARY FILENAME OR NOT.  ^USE
<NOREMEMBER (DEFAULT) [<NOREM] TO NOT REMEMBER LIBRARY FILENAMES (<LIBMAN WILL RUN
A BIT FASTER, BUT WILL BE SLIGHTLY DUMBER).
.LE;<RENAME <NEWFIL.<EXT=<OLDFIL.<EXT [<REN]
.BREAK
^RENAME THE FILE <OLDFIL.<EXT IN THE LIBRARY TO <NEWFIL.<EXT.
^YOU ARE ABLE TO CHANGE THE FILENAME, EXTENSION, PROTECTION, AND VERSION
OF A FILE IN THE LIBRARY WITH THIS COMMAND.
.LE;<SUPERSEDE ARG [<S]
.BREAK
^SPECIFIES THE ACTION <LIBMAN IS TO TAKE WHEN A <COPY OR <REPLACE COMMAND
IS DONE:
.LIST
.LE;<ALWAYS
.BREAK
^ALWAYS REPLACE THE EXISITING COPY.
.LE;<OLDER
.BREAK
^COPY: COPY THE FILE ONLY IF THE EXISTING COPY ON DISK IS OLDER THAN
THE COPY IN THE LIBRARY. ^REPLACE: REPLACE THE COPY IN THE LIBRARY ONLY
IF THE LIBRARY COPY IS OLDER THAN THE COPY ON DISK.
.LE;<NEVER
.BREAK
^NEVER REPLACE THE EXISTING COPY.
.END LIST
.LE;<TYPE "FILES" [<T]
.BREAK
^TYPE THE SPECIFIED FILES ON THE TELETYPE.
.LE;<USE LIBNAME [<U]
.BREAK
^SUBSEQUENT LIBRARY MANIPULATION COMMANDS WILL BE APPLIED TO THE SPECIFIED
LIBRARY FILE.

.LIST
.LE;^NO LIBRARY MANIPULATION COMMANDS ARE LEGAL UNTIL A <CREATE OR <USE
COMMAND HAS BEEN GIVEN.
.LE;^THE DEFAULT EXTENSION FOR LIBRARY FILES IS .<LIB.  ^IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE USER NOT SUPPLY EXTENSIONS FOR HIS LIBRARY FILES SO THE DEFAULT
WILL BE USED.
.LE;<LIBMAN WILL REMEMBER THE LAST LIBRARY SPECIFIED IN A <USE OR
<CREATE COMMAND IF /<REMEMBER IS SPECIFIED.  <LIBMAN WILL WRITE A FILE NNN<LRL.TMP, WHICH IT 
WILL TRY TO READ WHEN <LIBMAN IS RUN.  ^THUS, ONE MAY ISSUE A <FILDIR
COMMAND TO GET A DISK DIRECTORY, AND THEN WHEN CONTROL IS RETURNED TO
<LIBMAN, ONE MAY CONTINUE AS IF THE <USE COMMAND HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.
