Accessing Files with PostScript Emulation

File Naming Conventions

For any PostScript emulation operator that requires a filename parameter, the
filename can be one of the following:

%device%filename

Specifically references a file on a particular device. If the filename does not exist
on %device%, no other %device% is accessed for a duplicate filename.

filename

Does not specifically reference a device. The following action occurs:

For the PostScript emulation operator

deletefile

, only the first device in the

search order is checked for filename.

For all other PostScript emulation operators, and all other combinations of
search order and available devices, each installed %device% is checked in
the search order for the existence of filename. The operator acts upon the first
filename that it finds.

Device Names

The term

device

refers to flash memory, disk, or ROM. For PostScript emulation, some

of the operators require or return device names. These operators are:

deletefile,

filenameforall, devforall, devdismount, devmount, devformat, devstatus

. The

device always begins and optionally ends with a % character. The following are the
valid device names:

%rom%
%flash%
%flash1%
%disk%
%disk1%

The same filename can exist on more than one device. The device prefix determines
the actual file to use. For example,

%rom%myfile

and

%flash%myfile

designate,

respectively, a file called

myfile

both on the ROM and on flash memory. The device

name distinguishes which file to use.
