EDIT Command Summary
058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated 4–5
To run the EDIT program noninteractively, use the following EDIT
command syntax:
EDIT / [IN filename1] [, OUT filename2] [, NOWAIT] /
IN
reads editor commands.
filename1
If you do not specify filename1 , the EDIT program reads from the
command file of the command interpreter (usually the home terminal).
OUT
specifies the file to which the EDIT program writes its output.
filename2
is the name of a nondisk device, process, or existing disk file. If you do
not specify
filename2 , the EDIT program writes to the output file of
the command interpreter (usually the home terminal).
NOWAIT
tells the command interpreter to prompt you for another command as
soon as the EDIT program starts to run. If you omit NOWAIT, the
command interpreter waits for the EDIT program to execute all EDIT
commands in the command file before prompting you for another
command.
For more information about NOWAIT and other command interpreter
or TACL options, see the GUARDIAN 90 Operating System Utilities
