DEVTOOLS

Invokes the DEVTOOLS utility.

Format

DEVTOOLS [sub-command]

This section provides information about each of the subcommands you can use with the DEVTOOLS command.

DEVTOOLS ANALYSE/WEB_SITE

Analyse a web site in order to identify missing files and/or links.

Format

DEVTOOLS ANALYSE/WEB_SITE index-file

Parameters

index-file

Specifies the file which forms the root index for the web site i.e the file which a web server would serve by default if only the host is supplied as the URL.

Qualifiers

/BACKUP

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /BACKUP selects files according to the dates of their most recent backups. This qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /CREATED, /EXPIRED and /MODIFIED. If you specify none of these four time qualifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/BEFORE[=time]

Selects only those files dated prior to the specified time. You can specify time as an absolute time, as a combination of absolute and delta times, or as one of the following keywords: TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. Specify one of the following qualifiers with /BEFORE to indicate the time attribute to be used as the basis for selection: /BACKUP, /CREATED (default), /EXPIRED or /MODIFIED.

See the OpenVMS DCL Concepts Manual for complete information on specifying time values.

/BY_OWNER[=uic]

Selects only those files whose owner user identification code (UIC) matches the specified owner UIC. The default UIC is that of the current process.

Specify the UIC using standard UIC format as described in the OpenVMS DCL Concepts Manual.

/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM (default)

Controls whether a request is issued before each analyse operation to confirm that the operation should be performed on that file. The following responses are valid: 


     YES      NO       QUIT 
     TRUE     FALSE    [Ctrl/Z]
     1        0        ALL 
              [Return]

You can use any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters for word responses. Word responses can be abbreviated to one or more letters (for example, T, TR, or TRU for TRUE), but these abbreviations must be unique. Affirmative answers are YES, TRUE, and 1. Negative answers include: NO, FALSE, 0, and pressing the Return key. Entering QUIT or pressing Ctrl/Z indicates that you want to stop processing the command at that point. When you respond by entering ALL, the command continues to process, but no further prompts are given. If you type a response other than one of those in the list, DCL issues an error message and redisplays the prompt.

/CREATED

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /CREATED selects files based on their dates of creation. This qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /BACKUP, /EXPIRED and /MODIFIED. If you specify none of these four time qualifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/EXCLUDE=(file-spec[,...])

Excludes the specified files from the analyse operation. You can include a directory but not a device in the file specification. Wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification. However, you cannot use relative version numbers to exclude a specific version. If you provide only one file specification, you can omit the parentheses.

/EXPIRED

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /EXPIRED selects files according to their expiration dates. (The expiration date is set with the SET SECURITY/EXPIRED command.) The /EXPIRED qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /BACKUP, /CREATED and /MODIFIED. If you specify none of these four time qualifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/IGNORE=(option[,...])

Specifies which types of URL to ignore when analysing the web site.

Option Usage
ANCHOR Don't analyse or display details about internal document anchors (i.e. the "#" syntax in HTML).
HTTP Don't display details about explicit links with the "http://" prefix.
MAILTO Don't display details about explicit links with the "mailto:" prefix.

/LOG[=(option[,...]) (default)

/NOLOG

Outputs messages to the output file depending upon the option(s) specified.

The following log options are available:
Option Meaning
[NO]ALL Log all information. This is the default action.
[NO]ERROR Log errors.
[NO]NONE Don't log any information. This is the equivalent to /NOLOG.
[NO]NOTFOUND Log files that were not found.
[NO]SUCCESS Log files that were analysed.

/MODIFIED

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /MODIFIED selects files according to the dates on which they were last modified. This qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /BACKUP, /CREATED and /EXPIRED. If you specify none of these four time modifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/OUTPUT[=output-file-spec]

/NOOUTPUT

Specifies the output file specification for the command.

By default, /OUTPUT=SYS$OUTPUT is assumed. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier means that no output will be produced by the command.

/RELATIVE

/NORELATIVE (Default)

Specifies whether the internal links should be relative or absolute.

By default, /NORELATIVE is assumed which implies that links should be absolute.

See the OpenVMS DCL Concepts Manual for complete information on specifying time values.

Transfers control from your current process (which then hibernates) to the specified process.

The DEVTOOLS ATTACH and DEVTOOLS SPAWN commands cannot be used if your terminal has an associated mailbox.

Note that this command is only available for users with DCL access.

Format

DEVTOOLS ATTACH [process-name]

Parameters

process-name

Specifies the name of a parent process or spawned subprocess to which control passes. The process must already exist, be part of your current job, and share the same input stream as your current process. However, the process cannot be your current process or a subprocess created with the /NOWAIT qualifier.

Process names can contain from 1 to 15 alphanumeric characters. If a connection to the specified process cannot be made, an error message is displayed.

Exactly one of the process-name parameter or /IDENTIFICATION or /PARENT qualifiers must be specified. No combinations are allowed.

Qualifiers

/IDENTIFICATION=pid

Specifies the process identification (PID) of the process to which terminal control will be transferred. Leading zeros can be omitted.

Exactly one of the process-name parameter or /IDENTIFICATION or /PARENT qualifiers must be specified. No combinations are allowed.

/PARENT

Indicates that you want to attach to the parent process of your current process. If you did not access the DEVTOOLS utility by using the SPAWN command, an error message is displayed.

Exactly one of the process-name parameter or /IDENTIFICATION or /PARENT qualifiers must be specified. No combinations are allowed.

Examples

#1 

$ DEVTOOLS ATTACH JONES_2

The ATTACH command transfers the terminal's control to the subprocess JONES_2.

#2 

DEVTOOLS> ATTACH/IDENTIFICATION=30019

The ATTACH command switches control from the current process to a process having the PID 30019. Notice that because the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier is specified, the process-name parameter is omitted.

DEVTOOLS BEGIN SUBCONTEXT

Begins a subcontext block.

Format

DEVTOOLS BEGIN SUBCONTEXT

Qualifiers

/CONTEXT=(keyword=value,,,)

Specifies the context in which the command should execute.

By default the current context is assumed.

See the UTLTOOLS FETCH SUBCONTEXT command for more details about the keywords and their values.

/SUBCONTEXT=(keyword=value,,,)

Specifies the various alternative directories which may be checked for files to be ???.

By default the directories are those associated with the application.

Specifies the subcontext in which the command or commands within a subcontext block should execute.

See the UTLTOOLS FETCH SUBCONTEXT command for more details about the keywords and their values.

By default the directories are those associated with the application.

DEVTOOLS BUILD

Invokes the BUILD utility. See BUILD for details.

DEVTOOLS CHANGE

Searches one or more files for the specified string or strings and replaces the occurrences with the specified replacement string.

Format

DEVTOOLS CHANGE file-spec[,...] search-string[,...] replace-string[,...]

Parameters

file-spec

Specifies the names of one or more files to be searched. You must specify at least one file name. If you specify two or more file names, separate them with commas.

Wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification.

search-string

Specifies the character string to be located in the specified files. Enclose strings containing lowercase letters, blanks, or other nonalphanumeric characters (including spaces) in quotation marks.

You can use the /COMMENT, /EXACT and /SYMBOL qualifiers to alter the way that DEVTOOLS CHANGE matches search strings.

replace-string

Specifies the character string to be substituted when search-strings are found. Enclose strings containing lowercase letters, blanks, or other nonalphanumeric characters (including spaces) in quotation marks.

Each value in the replace-string parameter list is substituted for the corresponding value in the search-string parameter list. When there are fewer values in the replace-string list, the last value is used for the remaining search-string values. When there are more values in the replace-string parameter list, the excess values are ignored.

You can use the /CASE_ADAPTION qualifier to alter the way that DEVTOOLS CHANGE replaces matched strings.

Qualifiers

/BACKUP

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /BACKUP selects files according to the dates of their most recent backups. This qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /CREATED, /EXPIRED and /MODIFIED. If you specify none of these four time qualifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/BEFORE[=time]

Selects only those files dated prior to the specified time. You can specify time as an absolute time, as a combination of absolute and delta times, or as one of the following keywords: TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. Specify one of the following qualifiers with /BEFORE to indicate the time attribute to be used as the basis for selection: /BACKUP, /CREATED (default), /EXPIRED or /MODIFIED.

See the OpenVMS DCL Concepts Manual for complete information on specifying time values.

/BY_OWNER[=uic]

Selects only those files whose owner user identification code (UIC) matches the specified owner UIC. The default UIC is that of the current process.

Specify the UIC using standard UIC format as described in the OpenVMS DCL Concepts Manual.

/CASE_ADAPTION

/NOCASE_ADAPTION (default)

Controls whether the DEVTOOLS CHANGE command inserts the replacement string exactly as specified or changes its case to suit the matched search string.

If case adaption is specified, the case of the first character in the replacement string is made the same as the first character in the found text and the case of the remaining replacement characters is made the same as the second character of the found text.

By default, no case adaption occurs.

/COMMENT (default)

/NOCOMMENT

Determines whether DEVTOOLS CHANGE matches strings in comments. A comment is defined as a line starting with one of the following: 


      !   ;   #   *   --   $!  //  '

Note that a dollar sign followed by white space and an exclamation mark is also consifered as a comment.

By default, strings are matched whether they are in a comment or not.

/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM (default)

Controls whether a request is issued before each change operation to confirm that the operation should be performed on that file. The following responses are valid: 


     YES      NO       QUIT 
     TRUE     FALSE    [Ctrl/Z]
     1        0        ALL 
              [Return]

You can use any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters for word responses. Word responses can be abbreviated to one or more letters (for example, T, TR, or TRU for TRUE), but these abbreviations must be unique. Affirmative answers are YES, TRUE, and 1. Negative answers include: NO, FALSE, 0, and pressing the Return key. Entering QUIT or pressing Ctrl/Z indicates that you want to stop processing the command at that point. When you respond by entering ALL, the command continues to process, but no further prompts are given. If you type a response other than one of those in the list, DCL issues an error message and redisplays the prompt.

/CREATED

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /CREATED selects files based on their dates of creation. This qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /BACKUP, /EXPIRED and /MODIFIED. If you specify none of these four time qualifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/EXACT

/NOEXACT (default)

Controls whether the DEVTOOLS CHANGE command matches the search string exactly or treats uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalents. By default, DEVTOOLS CHANGE ignores case differences in letters.

Specifying the /EXACT qualifier causes the system to use less CPU time. Therefore, if you are sure of the case of the letters in the string, it is more efficient to use /EXACT.

/EXCLUDE=(file-spec[,...])

Excludes the specified files from the change operation. You can include a directory but not a device in the file specification. Wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification. However, you cannot use relative version numbers to exclude a specific version. If you provide only one file specification, you can omit the parentheses.

/EXECUTE=command-filespec

/NOEXECUTE (default)

Determines whether DEVTOOLS CHANGE uses a TPU command file containing procedures and statements to perform changes to the selected files in addition to the standard search and replacment changes.

When the DEVTOOLS CHANGE command initializes, the TPU command file specified is read and compiled. After each selected file has had the standard search and replace actions, the compiled TPU command file statements are executed.

By default, no actions in addition to the standard search and replace are executed.

/EXPIRED

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /EXPIRED selects files according to their expiration dates. (The expiration date is set with the SET SECURITY/EXPIRED command.) The /EXPIRED qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /BACKUP, /CREATED and /MODIFIED. If you specify none of these four time qualifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/LOG[=(option[,...]) (default)

/NOLOG

Outputs messages to the output file depending upon the option(s) specified.

The following log options are available:
Option Meaning
[NO]ALL Log all information.
[NO]CHANGED Log each file that was changed.
[NO]CHECKED Log each file that was searched.
NONE Log no information (equivalent to /NOLOG).
[NO]SUBSTITUTIONS Log each substitution made in changed files.
[NO]SUMMARY Produce a summary line indicating the number of files searched, the number of files changed, and the number of changes made.
[NO]UNCHANGED Log each file that was not changed.

/MODIFIED

Modifies the time value specified with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier. /MODIFIED selects files according to the dates on which they were last modified. This qualifier is incompatible with the other qualifiers that also allow you to select files according to time attributes: /BACKUP, /CREATED and /EXPIRED. If you specify none of these four time modifiers, the default is /CREATED.

/OUTPUT[=output-file-spec]

/NOOUTPUT

Specifies the output file specification for the command.

By default, /OUTPUT=SYS$OUTPUT is assumed. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier means that no output will be produced by the command.
