SHOW LOGICAL

Displays translations, the level of translation, and the logical name table for a specified logical name. The SHOW LOGICAL command performs iterative translations.

Requires read (R) access to the table in which a logical name is cataloged to display information about the logical name.


Format

SHOW LOGICAL [logical-name[:][,...]]


Parameter

logical-name[:][,...]

Specifies one or more logical names whose translations you want to display. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed; however, if a wildcard character is used, iterative translation is not done.

The logical name is translated iteratively up to a number of times determined by the system (from 9 to 11). That is, translations are examined to see if they are also logical names.


Description

The SHOW LOGICAL command displays logical names.

The logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL contains the list of logical name tables and the order in which they are searched. Unless LNM$DCL_LOGICAL has been redefined, the process, job, group, and system tables are searched, in that order. (To see how LNM$DCL_LOGICAL is defined for your process, enter the command SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$DIRECTORIES LNM$DCL_LOGICAL.)

If you specify a logical name, its translations are displayed. If you do not specify a logical name, all the logical names in the tables defined by the logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL are displayed.

You can specify the tables you want to search. If you do not specify a table, SHOW LOGICAL searches the tables specified by the logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL.

The SHOW LOGICAL command performs iterative translations. If a logical name has more than one translation, then all translations at a level are displayed before going to the next level. Use the SHOW TRANSLATION command to display only the first translation found for a specified logical name.

The SHOW LOGICAL command executes an image and causes the current image (if any) to exit. Use the SHOW TRANSLATION command (which is built into the command interpreter) when you do not want to exit the current image.

If a logical name contains control characters, the SHOW LOGICAL command replaces them with periods (.) for display.


Qualifiers

/ACCESS_MODE=mode

Displays names defined in the specified access mode and any inner access modes. You can specify one of the following keywords to indicate the access mode: USER_MODE, SUPERVISOR_MODE, EXECUTIVE_MODE, or KERNEL_MODE.

The default value for this qualifier is USER_MODE; by default any definitions in all four access modes are displayed.

/ALL (default)

Indicates that all logical names in the specified logical name tables are to be displayed. If you do not enter the /PROCESS, /JOB, /GROUP, /SYSTEM, or /TABLE qualifier, all logical names in the tables specified by the logical name LNM$DCL_LOGICAL are displayed.

/DESCENDANTS

/NODESCENDANTS (default)

Controls whether the system displays names from the specified logical name table and any descendant tables. A descendant table is created by the CREATE/NAME_TABLE command, with the /PARENT_TABLE qualifier specifying its parent table. If you use the /DESCENDANTS qualifier, you must also use the /TABLE qualifier.

/EXACT

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a search string that must match the search string exactly and must be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").

If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search string with the Find (E1) key.

/FULL

Displays more detailed information for the specified logical name. The information includes the access mode, attributes, the translation, and the logical name table.

/GROUP

Indicates that only the group logical name table is to be searched. The /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$GROUP qualifier. If you specify the /GROUP qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the group table are displayed.

/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD is the default highlighting.

/JOB

Indicates that only the job logical name table is to be searched. The /JOB qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$JOB qualifier. If you specify the /JOB qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the job logical name table are displayed.

/OUTPUT[=filespec]

/NOOUTPUT

Controls where the output of the SHOW LOGICAL command is sent. By default, the output of the SHOW LOGICAL command is sent to the current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file specification.

The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.

If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

Controls the display of information on the screen.

You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[= n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n is the number of pages to store.

The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the information:

Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Return, Enter, Space Get the next page of information.
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.

The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

/PROCESS

Indicates that only the process logical name table is to be searched. The /PROCESS qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier. If you specify the /PROCESS qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the process table are displayed.

/SEARCH="string"

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in the text string.

You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation marks are not required for a dynamic search.

/STRUCTURE

/NOSTRUCTURE (default)

Controls whether the system displays the "family tree" of all accessible logical name tables. The display includes the two logical name directory tables (process and system) and all logical name tables cataloged in these directory tables. Any descendant logical name tables are shown under their parent tables.

If you specify the /STRUCTURE qualifier, you cannot use any other qualifiers except /ACCESS_MODE, /FULL, and /OUTPUT.

/SYSTEM

Indicates that only the system logical name table is to be searched. The /SYSTEM qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifier. If you specify the /SYSTEM qualifier and you do not also specify a logical name, all names in the system table are displayed.

/TABLE=(name[,...])

Specifies the tables you want to search. If you specify only one table, you can omit the parentheses. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. Names with wildcards are used to match table names. Names without wildcard characters are treated both as table names and table search lists (whichever is appropriate).

You can use the /TABLE qualifier to specify the following:

  • A user-defined logical name table (created with the CREATE/NAME_TABLE command)
  • The process, group, or system logical name tables
  • The process or system directory tables

If you specify the table name by using a logical name that translates to more than one table, then each table is searched in the order specified. For example, if you specify SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$FILE_DEV, and LNM$FILE_DEV is equated to LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM, then the process, job, group, and system tables are searched, in that order.

If you do not specify the /TABLE qualifier, the default is /TABLE=LNM$DCL_LOGICAL.

/WRAP

/NOWRAP (default)

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond the width of the screen to the next line.

The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.


Examples

#1

$ SHOW LOGICAL/PROCESS
(LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
  "SYS$COMMAND" = "_TTB4:"
  "SYS$DISK" = "WORK6:"
  "SYS$DISK" = "WORK6:"
  "SYS$ERROR" = "_TTB4:"
  "SYS$INPUT" = "_TTB4:"
  "SYS$LOGIN" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"
  "SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE" = "WORK6:"
  "SYS$OUTPUT" = "_TTB4:"
  "SYS$OUTPUT" = "DKA2:"
  "SYS$SCRATCH" = "WORK6:[ODONNELL]"
      

The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays all process logical names and their translations. (Note that /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS would produce the same display as /PROCESS.)

#2

$ SHOW LOGICAL INFILE
  "INFILE" = "WORK6:[LOGAN]PAYROLL.EXE" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
      

The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the translation for the logical name INFILE. The response indicates that the logical name was found in the process logical name table.

#3

$ SHOW LOGICAL/GROUP
   .
   .
   .
      

The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays all group logical names and their translations. (Note that /TABLE=LNM$GROUP would produce the same display as /GROUP.)

#4

$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=SYSTEM  SYS$LIBRARY
  "SYS$LIBRARY" = "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
                = "DOCD$:[SYSC.SYSLIB]"
      

The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the translation of the logical name SYS$LIBRARY in the system table. The response indicates that SYS$LIBRARY is defined in the system table, and that the logical name has two translations.

#5

$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$GROUP/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM SYS$DISK
  "SYS$DISK" = "ZZZ3:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
      

The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example is qualified by both the /TABLE=LNM$GROUP and /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifiers. The response indicates that the logical name SYS$DISK was found in the system logical name table. When you enter two conflicting qualifiers, as in this example, only the last qualifier you specify is used.

#6

$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY
      

The SHOW LOGICAL command in this example displays the logical names in the process directory table. Each name is either a table name, or a name that translates iteratively to a table.


SHOW MEMORY

Displays the availability and usage of those system resources that are related to memory.

Format

SHOW MEMORY


Parameters

None.

Description

The information provided by the SHOW MEMORY command can help you determine whether to change certain system memory resources to improve system performance. The system memory resources are as follows:
Physical memory
Process entry slots and balance slots
Nonpaged and paged dynamic memory
Space in paging and swapping files
File data cache memory usage

When the SHOW MEMORY command is executed, a display is written to SYS$OUTPUT. Depending on which qualifiers you specify, the display shows the following memory resource statistics:

Physical memory usage
Bad page list
Number of pages allocated to an OpenVMS system
Slot usage
Dynamic memory usage (in bytes)
Paging file usage (in blocks)
Dynamic memory
Granularity hint regions for code and data (Alpha only)
Virtual I/O Cache facility (VAX only)
Extended File Cache facility (Alpha only)

For a detailed description of each item displayed, see the examples.


Qualifiers

/ALL (default)

Displays all available information, that is, information displayed by the /FILES, /PHYSICAL_PAGES, /POOL, and /SLOTS qualifiers.

/BUFFER_OBJECTS (Alpha only)

Displays information about system resources used by buffer objects.

/CACHE[=(keyword[,...])]

Displays information about the Virtual I/O Cache facility or the Extended File Cache facility, depending on which is loaded. The Cache facility information is displayed as part of the SHOW MEMORY and SHOW MEMORY/CACHE/FULL commands.

If the Extended File Cache is loaded, you can specify the following keywords and options:

VOLUME[=device] Requests display of volume-level statistics for the specified volume(s). If no device is specified, defaults to SYS$DISK. Device specifications may be wildcarded; if so, the device specification must be based on the physical device name. Specify VOLUME=* to see statistics for all volumes in cache.
FILE=filespec Requests display of file-level statistics for the specified file(s) in cache. The filespec must contain an explicit or implicit device specification. The filespec may be wildcarded according to RMS rules. Specify FILE=dev:*.* to see statistics for all files in cache for a device. Partially wild file specifications that are satisfied by large numbers of files on disk may incur significant processing overhead during display. By default, both open and closed files are displayed (use the OPEN and CLOSED keywords to further restrict which files are displayed).

Note that this command may fail if you select a large number of files for display. If you receive an error message, reduce the number of selected files and reissue the command.

TOPQIO[= n] Requests display of file-level statistics for the n files in cache with the highest overall QIO count ( n defaults to 10).
TOPHITRATE[= n] Requests display of file-level statistics for the n files in cache with the highest overall cache hit rate ( n defaults to 10).
OPEN Include only open files in the display (default for TOPQIO and TOPHITRATE).
CLOSED Include only closed files in the display.

/EXACT

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a search string that must match the search string exactly and must be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").

If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search string with the Find (E1) key.

/FILES

Displays information about the use of each paging and swapping file currently installed.

/FULL

When used with /POOL, displays additional information about pool area.

When used with /CACHE, displays additional information about the file data cache that is loaded (either VIOC or XFC).

This qualifier is ignored unless the /CACHE or /POOL qualifier is specified explicitly.

/GH_REGIONS

On Alpha, displays information about the granularity hint regions (GHR) that have been established. For each of these regions, information is displayed about the size of the region, the amount of free memory, the amount of memory in use, and the amount of memory released to OpenVMS from the region. The granularity hint regions information is also displayed as part of SHOW MEMORY, SHOW MEMORY/ALL, and SHOW MEMORY/FULL commands.

/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD is the default highlighting.

/OUTPUT[=filespec]

/NOOUTPUT

Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier without a file specification, the output is sent to the current process default output stream or device, identified by the logical name SYS$OUTPUT.

If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you enter a file specification, it cannot include asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters.

If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

Controls the display of memory information on the screen.

You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[= n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n is the number of pages to store.

The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the information:

Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Return, Enter, Space Get the next page of information.
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.

The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

/PHYSICAL_PAGES

Displays information about the amount of physical memory and the number of free and modified pages.

/POOL

Displays information about the usage of each dynamic memory (pool) area, including the amount of free space and the size of the largest contiguous block in each area.

/RESERVED (Alpha only)

Displays information about memory reservations.

/SEARCH="string"

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in the text string.

You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation marks are not required for a dynamic search.

/SLOTS

Displays information about the availability of partition control block (PCB) vector slots and balance slots.

/UNITS=keyword

Allows you to override the current default specified by SET PROCESS/UNITS so that you can display memory in your choice of blocks or bytes.

Keyword options are:

Option Description
BLOCKS Displays memory in blocks (equivalent to PAGES).
BYTES Displays memory in bytes.
PAGES Displays memory in page format (equivalent to BLOCKS).

/WRAP

/NOWRAP (default)

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond the width of the screen to the next line.

The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.
