FLS(1)                    User Commands                    FLS(1)



NAME
     flscmd, fls - list the contents of a FSP database

SYNOPSIS
     flscmd [ unix ls flags ] _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ...

     fls [ unix ls flags ] _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ...

DESCRIPTION
     flscmd lists the content of the  FSP  database.   All  usual
     flags and usages for the unix ls command are accepted.

     flscmd will perform csh file name globbing based on file and
     directory information obtained from the FSP database.

     Since user's command shells generally cannot do  the  proper
     globbing  for  this  program,  it  is  recommended that user
     defines a shell alias or fucntion to turns off command shell
     globbing before running this program.  csh example:

     alias fls \(set noglob\; exec flscmd \!\*\)

ENVIRONMENT
     The following variables associate this program  with  a  FSP
     database:

     FSP_HOST
          The name or internet number of the machine with the FSP
          server.

     FSP_PORT
          The port number of the  UDP  socket  used  by  the  FSP
          server.

     FSP_LOCALPORT
          The port number of the UDP socket used  by  FSP  client
          utilities.   You may pick any number not currently used
          for other purposes.  The main reason of  defining  this
          number  is  to  ensure  mutual exclusion between client
          utilities accessing the same FSP database.

     FSP_DIR
          The current working directory of the client in the  FSP
          database.  The root of the database is /.

BUGS
     flscmd is based on 4.3 ls code.  It inherits any bugs  found
     in  4.3 ls. In addition, only four pieces of information for
     each file and directory are available  through  FSP:   name,
     time,  size,  and  type.  All  other information that flscmd
     display are for compatibility purposes only and  are  forged
     locally.
