Getting Started

Getting Started

You must use SAFECOM, the Safeguard command interpreter, to enter commands. As
described in

Section 7, Working With SAFECOM

, you can choose different operating

modes and options when you run SAFECOM.

For simplicity, the examples in this section assume that you are running SAFECOM in
interactive mode. To start SAFECOM in interactive mode, type the following command
at the TACL prompt:

1> SAFECOM

In response to this command, SAFECOM displays its program banner and an equal
sign (=). The equal sign is the SAFECOM command prompt. It indicates SAFECOM is
ready to accept commands.

To end an interactive session, type EXIT at the SAFECOM command prompt.

Adding a Disk File to the Safeguard
Subsystem

You must own a disk file or be owner’s group manager or a super user to secure a disk
file with the Safeguard subsystem. The ADD DISKFILE command puts a file under

PERSISTENT

if the file is purged.

process access ID (PAID) to the user ID of the file's primary
owner.

buffers during execution. Applies only to program files. Only the
super ID can set this attribute. This attribute is valid only on
systems running H-series RVUs.
