Running SWID
This section describes how to install and run the SWID utility.
Installing SWID
SWID is a stand-alone object file like other NonStop utilities such as the File Utility
Program (FUP). SWID does not require any special installation procedures before its
use.
Invoking SWID
To run the utility, at a Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) prompt, enter:
infile
names the IN file, which can be a disk file, a terminal device, or a file process. If
filename is a disk file, it must be an EDIT file (code 101). Each line of the
filename should contain only one fileset . SWID reads each line from the
filename until it reaches the end-of-file. If you do not specify an IN file, the TACL
software uses the home terminal as the default IN file. Switches, if any, should be
specified on the command line and not in the IN file.
listfile
names the OUT file. It can be a disk file, a device, or a process to which SWID
directs its output. If the disk file exists, it must be an EDIT type file to which SWID
appends its output. If the disk file does not exist, SWID creates an EDIT type file.
If you do not specify an OUT file, the TACL software uses the home terminal as the
default OUT file.
other-runoptions
are the standard RUN parameters (optional) that let you specify either an IN file
name, an OUT list file, or both. TACL software (such as, NOWAIT, CPU, and PRI)
supports these parameters.
switch
enables you to customize a SWID invocation to your specific needs. This feature
is optional for running the SWID utility. The switches are explained in further detail
Note. Set the PROGID to change the SWID process access ID to super ID, so that SWID can
read and compute the fingerprint of any file on the system.
