TMSS10ModifyFlags

TMSS10ModifyFlags adds and removes editable Flags through the Command Line interface.

Synopsis

TMSS10ModifyFlags [-F new flags] [-S logon string] [-V volume filter] [-c configuration file]

Options

If an argument value starts with the value FI:, the value for that attribute will be read from the file name specified immediately after it. For example, if a file named ACME_volumes has the content ACME_*.*, specifying FI:/etc/ACME_volumes will have the same effect as -V ACME.*.*. Using FI: to refer to a file for an attribute value works for all attributes.

If the pattern being matched starts with *LIST: then rather than matching the literal value, each record in the file specified as *LIST:filename will be tested. If one matches the match will succeed.
