Running vproc Interactively
vproc can be run interactively. Starting an interactive vproc process from the OSS environment
allows you to retrieve information for multiple, unrelated files.
To start a vproc process, enter vproc after the OSS shell prompt.
vproc displays text similar to the following:
vproc — T9617G03 — (01 MAY 2002) SYSTEM \ACME Date 15 JAN,
2002,09:26:14
COPYRIGHT TANDEM COMPUTERS INCORPORATED 1986 - 2001
Enter filename:
>
After the vproc prompt (>), you can enter an OSS pathname value for a file in the OSS file system.
vproc
accepts the wild-card asterisk (*) in OSS pathnames.
NOTE: In interactive mode you must enter the absolute pathname for the file, even if you are
running vproc from the directory that the file is in.
To exit vproc, enter Ctrl-Y at the vproc prompt.
In the following example, vproc displays information about the OSS command who.
/bin: vproc

Interpreting vproc Output
vproc returns as much information as it can about a file. Running vproc can result in either a
successful retrieval or a partial or unsuccessful retrieval.
