como -- redirect command output to file or printer
|
|
|
|
syntax: como <pathname>
|
|
|
|
ex: como listing;type =:txt -h
|
|
como &;cat -t
|
|
como 2;type davex.doc
|
|
|
|
For commands on the same line only, redirects output that would
|
|
normally appear on the screen. If the specified file exists,
|
|
output will be appended to it. If it does not exist, it will be
|
|
created as a TXT file.
|
|
|
|
Output can be redirected to a device by slot number, as in the
|
|
third example.
|
|
|
|
'&' (or '0') represents the printer slot set by 'config'.
|
|
|
|
Even while spooled files are printing, you can redirect output
|
|
to a slot. (Not to the SAME slot 'spool' is printing to.)
|
|
|
|
Note: If no pathname is specified, output redirection is
|
|
cancelled; output returns to the screen. (The same thing happens
|
|
automatically after the whole command line is processed, so this
|
|
feature is rarely needed.)
|
|
|
|
A standard alias "print" is provided; it stands for "como &;", so
|
|
you can do things like
|
|
|
|
print help (same as "como &;help")
|
|
|
|
print;pg foo (same as "como &;;pg foo"
|
|
[extra ";" doesn't matter])
|
|
|
|
(see also: exec, config)
