DESCRIPTION



  
ns_chmod filename mode

  
Change a file's access permissions. ns_chmod changes the specified file's
      permissions to mode, in the same manner as the Unix chmod(1) command-line
      utility.
    

  





  
ns_cp -preserve file1 file2

  
Copy one file to another. ns_cp copies the contents of file1 to file2,
      just like the Unix "cp" command. The default directory is the
      home directory for the server. If -preserve is specified, the copied file
      will retain the creation time, modification time, owner, and mode of the
      original file, just like the Unix "cp -p" command.
    

  





  
ns_cpfp fileid1 fileid2 ?nbytes?

  
Copy a specified number of bytes from one file to another. ns_cpfp copies
      information from one file (fileid1) to another (fileid2). If you specify a
      number of bytes in the nbytes argument, only the specified number of bytes
      will be copied. By default, the entire file is copied.
    

  





  
ns_ftruncate fileid ?length?

  
Truncate an open file to a specified length. ns_ftruncate causes the open
      file specified by fileid to have a size of length bytes. If length is not
      specified, it causes the file to have a size of zero bytes. The file must
      be open and be a regular file.
    

  





  
ns_link ?-nocomplain? filename1 filename2

  
Create a link. ns_link creates a link named filename2 that points to the
      file specified by filename1. If the link fails, a Tcl error is generated,
      unless -nocomplain is specified.
    

  





  
ns_mkdir path

  
Create a directory. ns_mkdir creates the directory named PATH, just like
      the Unix mkdir command. By default, under Unix the directory is created
      with the file permissions set to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x.). These permissions can
      be modified by setting the umask parameter for the server.
    

  





  
ns_rename file1 file2

  
Rename a file. ns_rename renames the first file (file1) to the file name
      specified by file2. Make sure that the files and the directories in which
      the files exist are read/write accessible to the username that's running
      the AOLserver.
    

  





  
ns_rmdir path

  
Remove a directory. ns_rmdir removes the directory named path, just like
      the Unix rmdir command. The directory must already be empty.
    

  





  
ns_unlink [-nocomplain] filename

  
Remove a file. ns_unlink attempts to remove the file filename. If
      -nocomplain is not passed in and the removal fails, a Tcl error is
      generated.
    

  





  
ns_truncate filename ?length?

  
Truncate a file to a specified length. ns_truncate causes the file
      specified by filename to have a size of length bytes. If length is not
      specified, it causes filename to have a size of zero bytes. The file must
      exist and be a regular file.
    

  





  
ns_unlink [-nocomplain] filename

  
Remove a file. ns_unlink attempts to remove the file filename. If
      -nocomplain is not passed in and the removal fails, a Tcl error is
      generated.
