occurs on the archive; the reasoning is that this kind of error means that
pax has reached the end of the volume and is to go on to a new one. An
interrupt at this point ends pax.
–v Lists pathnames on the standard error stream just before beginning to
process the files or directories, but after any –i, or –s options have had
their effect. In list mode (neither –r nor –w is specified), pax displays a
“verbose” table of contents; this verbose format shows information about
the components in the same format used by the ls command. See “Output”
on page 490 for more information.
-W seqparms=parms
Specifies the parameters needed to create a sequential data set if one does
not already exist. You can specify the RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, and
SPACE in the format that fopen() function uses.
SPACE=(units,(primary,secondary) where the following values are
supported for units:
v Any positive integer indicating BLKSIZE
v CYL (mixed case)
v TRK (mixed case)
Space may be specified as follows:
SPACE=(500,(100,500)) units, primary, secondary
SPACE=(500,100) units and primary only
Note: The fopen() arguments: LRECL specifies the length, in bytes, for
fixed-length records and the maximum length for variable-length
records. BLKSIZE specifies the maximum length, in bytes, of a
physical block of records. RECFM refers to the record format of a
data set and SPACE indicates the space attributes for MVS data
sets.
For example:
pax -W "seqparms=’RECFM=U,space=(500,100)’" -wf "//’target.dataset’" source
For information on how to specify these parameters, see z/OS XL C/C++
Programming Guide.
–w Writes files to the standard output in the specified archive format.
–X Writes out only those files that are on the same device as their parent
directory. However, it will not copy a directory currently used as a mount
point. The user must either unmount the file system from that mount point
or copy the directory manually.
–x format
Specifies a file format for an output archive. The format argument can be:
cpio Standing for the ASCII format used by the cpio command.
cpiob Standing for the binary format used by cpio.
os390 Standing for the OS390 format which has all the support for
saving/restoring extended USTAR support such as special headers,
external links, and long links. This format is only supported on z/OS
systems.
pax Standing for the pax Interchange Format which, like os390
format(-x os390) and extended USTAR(-o saveext), saves or
restores file attributes that cannot be stored in the USTAR header
format such as ACLs, external links, long link names, long path
names, file tags and extended attributes. Additionally the pax
Interchange Format can save/restore file attributes which cannot be
