TMSS10ValidateBarcode

Synopsis

TMSS10ValidateBarcode [-C Customer-ID] [-M Media-ID] [-S logon string]

Description

TMSS10ValidateBarcode will parse a list of volume Barcodes, outputting the Barcode rule the Barcode will be parsed under if valid.

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.
