'filepeek' documentation

Hello all,

I am looking for the documentation on 'filepeek'.

I want to do:

EXECUTE "SH -c "filepeek /path/to/file/name"

But the command 'filepeek' requires a 'Q' to quit from the prompt 'Addr:'.

I am wondering if there is a flag that I can use so that is terminates itself without the necessity of going into 'Addr:'

I am just trying to get the info on the file to see if it is 32 or 64 bit.

Hi Joe,
I would consider just using a DATA statement to pass in the 'Q' input value. You could create a Paragraph or just use the DATA statement in a BASIC program. A couple of examples follow:

>CT VOC JOE

JOE
0001 PA
0002 SH -c "filepeek VOC"
0003 DATA Q
>JOE
filepeek status:
Active file .......... "VOC"
Current file address . 0x00000000
Maximum file address . 0x00047FFF
Window size .......... 512 bytes
0xFF will display as . "ÿ"
Default base ......... 16
Default mode ......... 32-bit
File type ............ 3
Modulo ............... 23
Separation ........... 4
Group 0 .............. 0x00000800
Free head ............ 0x0003F800
Mkdbstamp ............ 1350909565

Addr: Q
>CT BP JOE

JOE
0001 DATA "Q"
0002 EXECUTE "SH -c 'filepeek VOC'"
>RUN BP JOE
filepeek status:
Active file .......... "VOC"
Current file address . 0x00000000
Maximum file address . 0x00047FFF
Window size .......... 512 bytes
0xFF will display as . "ÿ"
Default base ......... 16
Default mode ......... 32-bit
File type ............ 3
Modulo ............... 23
Separation ........... 4
Group 0 .............. 0x00000800
Free head ............ 0x0003F800
Mkdbstamp ............ 1350909565

Addr: Q

Thanks,

Hi Neil,

Yeah, that was the way it was suggested to do it.

I am just curious about the 'filepeek' command itself.

Are there any flags that I could invoke to shorten / terminate the output?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Joe,
The tool has always been an internal support tool without any command line options to shorten/terminate the command once invoked.
The expectation is that someone looking at the screen will determine when to exit.
At this point, the DATA statement is the best option to provide input to the command interface.
Thank you.
Neil

Hi Joe,

If you want to check a uvfile 32 or 64bit you can do it :
From BASIC : check attached UV_32OR64BIT file
From unix : via magic definition and 'file filename' commande, attached the Magix definition to install into unix 
From winPowershell : see script attached IsUVDataFile.ps1

i hope this help

We wrote a BASIC program to capture file information.  Below is a snippet.  You pass in the file name either as an argument or a manual input and it displays the device, inode, file type, modulo, seperation, and 64-bit switch.  We are a Windows shop so I don't know if it will be the same on unix.

GET(ARG.) ID ELSE
   PRINT 'ENTER FILE NAME: ': ; INPUT ID
END
WRK = ID[1,4]
IF WRK = 'DICT' THEN FNM = ID[6,99] ELSE WRK = ''; FNM = ID
OPEN WRK, FNM TO NEW.FILE ELSE
   PRINT "CANNOT OPEN ":ID
   STOP
END
STATUS MOD FROM NEW.FILE ELSE
END
FTYPE = MOD<21>
SEP = MOD<23>
MODULO = MOD<22>
IF MOD<31>[1,6] = 'ACEF02' AND MOD<32> = '5' THEN
   FLAG.64 = 'Y'
END ELSE
   FLAG.64 = 'N'
END
PRINT 'INODE: ':MOD<10>
PRINT 'DEVICE: ':MOD<11>
PRINT 'TYPE: ':FTYPE
PRINT 'MODULO: ':MODULO
PRINT 'SEP: ':SEP
PRINT '64-BIT: ':FLAG.64
STOP
END

A little less violent, and does not require up to one second of delay:

sh -c "echo Q | filepeek VOC"
filepeek status:
Active file .......... "VOC"
Current file address . 0x00000000
Maximum file address . 0x0001B7FF
Window size .......... 512 bytes
0xFF will display as . "�"
Default base ......... 16
Default mode ......... 32-bit
File type ............ 3
Modulo ............... 31
Separation ........... 4
Group 0 .............. 0x00000800
Free head ............ 0x00000000
Mkdbstamp ............ 1519832698
