Description

The tnvolck command checks files and directories under a TAS volume for the integrity of their corresponding TAS shadow files.

The filename-case attribute of a volume determines its naming convention. You need to synchronize file names only for volumes with the filename-case attribute set to lower. By default, if tnvolck needs to synchronize a file name, it prompts for user confirmation before converting the file name.

The tnvolck command checks for TAS shadow files that no longer have their corresponding UNIX base files. This condition may occur if users have moved or removed the UNIX file using UNIX commands such as mv or rm, instead of TAS commands tnmv or tnrm. The tnvolck command removes these shadow files.

The tnvolck command checks for TAS shadow files that have different owner, group and mode information than their corresponding UNIX base files. This condition may occur if users have changed the ownership and mode of the UNIX file using UNIX commands such as chown, chgrp or chmod instead of TAS commands tnchown, tnchgrp or tnchmod. The tnvolck command changes the information on the shadow files to match the information of their corresponding UNIX files.

The tnvolck command checks to see if the file's UNIX name complies with naming conventions for the TAS volume in which the file resides. If the name does not comply with the specified convention, tnvolck attempts to synchronize it.

If you specify the -p option, tnvolck preserves file name case without prompting for confirmation. Before modifying a file name or deleting a shadow file, tnvolck prompts for user confirmation.

If you specify the -y option, tnvolck behaves as if you answer yes (y) to all questions. It does not prompt for confirmation. Use this option only when you want tnvolck to synchronize shadow files.

If you specify the -n option, tnvolck behaves as if you answer no (n) to all questions. It does not prompt for confirmation. If it finds inconsistencies, tnvolck prints error messages. Use this option only when you want tnvolck to check the volume without synchronizing shadow files.
