This panel displays information describing the attributes of a z/OS UNIX file.
The Pathname field displays the path name of the selected z/OS UNIX file.
The General Information section of the panel displays these fields:
- File Type
- The type of z/OS UNIX file. The possible values are:
- Dir
- Directory
- File
- Regular file
- Char
- Character special file
- FIFO
- FIFO (first-in-first-out) special file
- Size
- The file size, in bytes.
- Links
- For a file, the number of hard links to the file. For a directory,
the number of subdirectories.
- Inode
- File identification number, unique within the file system.
- File Format
- File format for regular files. The possible values are:
- ----
- Not specified
- bin
- Binary data
- nl
- New line
- cr
- Carriage return
- lf
- Line feed
- crlf
- Carriage return followed by line feed
- lfcr
- Line feed followed by carriage return
- crnl
- Carriage return followed by new line
- Last Modified
- The date and time the file was last changed.
- Last Changed
- The date and time the status of the file was last changed.
- Last Accessed
- The date and time the data in the file was last accessed.
- Created
- The date and time the file was created.
- CCSID
- The coded character set identifier assigned to the file for Enhanced
ASCII support.
- Text Convert
- A value of YES indicates the file is enabled for Enhanced ASCII
automatic conversion. NO indicates the file is not enabled for automatic
conversion.
The Owner section of the panel displays these fields:
- File
- The user ID and UID number of the owner of the file or directory.
- Group
- The group name and GID number of the owner of the file or directory.
The Mode Fields section of the panel displays these fields:
- Permissions
- The file or directory permissions, in octal format. If there are
extended access control list (ACL) entries defined for the file or
directory, + is displayed after the octal value.
- Set User ID
- A value of ON indicates the SETUID
bit is on causing the effective user ID of the user process executing
a program to be set to that of the file owner when this file is run.
- Set Group ID
- A value of ON indicates the SETGID
bit is on causing the effective group ID of the user process executing
a program to be set to that of the file owner when this file is run.
- Sticky Bit
- A value of ON indicates the sticky
bit for the file or directory is set on. For files that are programs
this causes z/OS UNIX to search for the program in the user's
STEPLIB, the link pack area, or the link list concatenation. For a
directory it means a user can only remove or rename a file or remove
a subdirectory if one of these conditions is true:
- The user owns the file or subdirectory
- The user owns the directory
- The user has superuser authority
The Extended Attributes section of the panel displays these fields:
- Shared AS
- A value of YES indicates that the program can run in a shared
address space.
- APF Auth
- A value of YES indicates
that the program can run APF authorized if it has been linked with
AC=1.
- Pgm Control
- A value of YES indicates
that the program can run as if it were from a program controlled library.
- Shared Lib
- A value of YES indicates
that the program is loaded as a system shared library program.
The Audit section of the panel displays these fields:
- Auditor
- Shows the audit criteria for this file as defined by a user with
auditor authority. The value shows three characters describing the
audit bit settings for read, write, and execute (search) access. The
possible values for each character are:
- s
- Audit successful access attempts
- f
- Audit failed access attempts
- a
- Audit all access attempts
- -
- No audit
- User
- Shows the audit criteria for this file as defined by the file
owner or a superuser. See the field Auditor for
the possible values displayed.
The Device Data section of the panel displays these fields:
- Device Number
- A hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies the mounted file
system for this file.
- Major Device
- For a character special file, this is a number that identifies
the device type. The possible values are:
- 1
- Master pseudo-TTY device, which is tied to a slave device by the
minor number
- 2
- Slave pseudo-TTY device, which is tied to a master device by the
minor number
- 3
- Controlling terminal TTY
