Synopsis

Module

     DMSRNM (RENAME)

Function

       RENAME COMMAND.  CHANGES THE  FILEID OF THE SPECIFIED
       FILE.

Attributes

     TRANSIENT

Operation

       RENAME CHECKS THE PARAMETER LIST FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF
       ERRORS, AND  GIVES ERROR RETURNS, WITH  MESSAGES, FOR
       ANY ERROR DETECTED.

       ONLY  READ-WRITE DISK(S)  ARE CHECKED  FOR THE  FILES
       SPECIFIED; READ-ONLY DISKS ARE IGNORED.

       WHEN  THE   PARAMETER  LIST  HAS  BENN   CHECKED  AND
       APPROPRIATE FLAG-BITS  SET AS  NEEDED, RENAME  CHECKS
       FOR EXISTENCE OF  THE GIVEN FILE(S), AND  CHANGES THE
       FILE IDENTIFICATION, AS FOLLOWS:

       1. ACTLKP  IS  CALLED TO  CHECK  IF  THE FILE  TO  BE
            CHANGED HAPPENS TO  BE ACTIVE - THAT  IS, IN THE
            ACTIVE FILE TABLE. THIS IS TREATED AS AN ERROR.
            IN A COUPLE  OF CASES WHERE THIS  ERROR HAS BEEN
            KNOWN  TO  OCCUR,  THE  CALLING  PROGRAM  EITHER
            FORGOT TO CLOSE THE FILE  BEFORE CHANGING IT, OR
            TRIED   TO  RENAME   IT  FIRST   AND  CLOSE   IT
            AFTERWARDS.  THUS, IF THIS ERROR SHOULD OCCUR (A
            MESSAGE IS  TYPED TO  WARN THE  USER), LOOK  FOR
            THIS TYPE OF BUG IN THE CALLING PROGRAM.

       2. IF THE GIVEN FILE IS NOT IN THE ACTIVE FILE TABLE,
            RENAME CHECKS FOR THE FILE  BY A CALL TO FSTLKW.
            IF NOT FOUND, RENAME EXITS  WITH A NORMAL RETURN
            IF AT  LEAST ONE FFILE  WAS CHANGED, OR  WITH AN
            ERROR (WITH MESSAGE) IF NO FILES AT ALL WERE
            CHANGED.

       3. IF THE GIVEN FILE WAS FOUND  BY FSTLKW, A CHECK IS
            MADE TO ENSURE  THAT THE FILE IDENTIFIED  BY THE
            NEW NAME AND TYPE DOES  NOT ALREADY EXIST IN THE
            ACTIVE FILE TABLE FOR THE  SAME DISK (VIA ACTLKP
            CALL -  RETURN CODE 8 IF  FOUND), OR IN  THE FST
            TABLES FOR THE SAME DISK (VIA FSTLKW).  IF IT IS
            FOUND, AN ERROR IS RETURNED BY RENAME.

       4. IF  NOT, THE  FILE  IDENTIFICATION  IS ALTERED  AS
            SPECIFIED BY THE CALLER'S  PARAMETER LIST, AND A
            FLAG-BIT IS  SET IF A  CHANGE WAS  ACTUALLY MADE
            (FOR THE  SUBSEQUENT EXIT AS DESCRIBED  ABOVE IN
            STEP 2).

       5. RENAME  THEN  CHECKS  THE  NOUPDIRT  FLAG  BIT  OF
            ALTRFLG  TO  DETERMINE  IF   THAT  OPTION  -  TO
            PROHIBIT THE  UPDATING OF  THE FILE  DIRECTORY -
            WAS  SPECIFIED. IF  SO,  THE  FLAG BIT  USED  TO
            SIGNAL THAT THE FILE DIRECTORY  IS TO BE UPDATED
            VIA A CALL TO UPDISK IS NOT TURNED ON.

       6. RENAME  THEN CHECKS  THE FLAG  BIT  IN ALTRFLG  TO
            DETERMINE  IF THE  TYPE  OPTION  - TO  TYPE  THE
            IDENTIFIER(S)  OF  THE FILE(S)  ALTERED  TO  THE
            CONSOLE - WAS SPECIFIED.  IF TYPE WAS SPECIFIED,
            THE  PLIST IS  SET UP,  AND A  CALL TO  CONWRITE
            TYPES THE IDENTIFIER OF THE FILE.

       7. THEN  A CALL  TO THE  TFINIS ROUTINE  IS MADE  (IF
            NECESSARY) TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE ALL OUTPUT FILES
            FOR THE DISK INVOLVED, AND THEN UPDISK IS CALLED
            TO UPDATE THE FILE DIRECTORY.

       8. FINALLY, IF THE PARAMETER LIST SPECIFIED ALL NAMES
            AND/OR TYPES, THE PROCESS  IS REPEATED, STARTING
            AT STEP  1, TO ALTER ALL  APPROPRIATE FILENAMES,
            TYPES, OR MODES AS DESIRED.

Calls to Other Routines

       DMSLAFP - SEARCHES THE ACTIVE FILE TABLE

       DMSLFSW - SEARCHES FOR THE SPECIFIED FILE STATUS
                 TABLE ENTRY.

       DMSLADP - FIND THE ACTIVE DISK TABLE BLOCK WHOSE MODE
                 MATCHES.

     DMSFNSC -   TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE A GIVEN FILE OR ACTIVE
                 DISK TABLE FOR THE  PURPOSE OF UPDATING THE
                 FILE DIRECTORY.

       DMSAUDK - TO RESERVE SPACE ON DISK FOR REWRITING A
                 NEW  COPY OF  THE  USER  FILE DIRECTORY  ON
                 DISK, AND THEN TO UPDATE THE UFD ON DISK.
