ostest: Testing a Pathname for Specified Conditions

 The ostest utility indicates whether a pathname meets a specified condition.

Syntax

ostest [option] pathname



pathname 

The pathname of a database or directory.

Options
-d
pathname is a rawfs directory.

 
-f

-p
pathname is a file pathname.

 
-r
I (requestor) have read access to pathname.

 
-s

Description

 You can specify one option when running this utility. The ostest utility returns an exit code of
0
When the specified condition is true
Nonzero

When the specified condition is false

When you specify a file database, you cannot specify a remote file-server host in the pathname of the file database. The ostest utility passes the operation to a local native utility. If you specify a remote file-server host name, ObjectStore informs you that you specified an illegal pathname.
