Displays the contents of one or more cache file blocks (CFB).
Format
SHOW FILE [address] [/BRIEF] | [/EXTENTS] | [/FULL] | [/STATISTICS]
[/CLOSED] [/CVB=] [/ID=] [/OPEN] [/DISPLAY_NAME]
1 – Parameter
address
The address of the cache file block (CFB). If no address is specified,
then all cache file blocks are displayed (subject to selection by the
/CLOSED, /CVB, /ID, and /OPEN qualifiers) .
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /BRIEF
Displays summary information for each CFB: CFB address, CVB
address, access count, active I/O count, and file specification
or ID*. The /BRIEF qualifier is incompatible with each of the
/EXTENTS, /FULL, and /STATISTICS qualifiers.
*If the file specification is available, via LIB$FID_TO_NAME(),
it is displayed; otherwise, the FID is displayed. Note that,
because the volume is accessed through its logical name, if
two volumes are mounted that have the same logical name (for
example, one mounted /SYSTEM and one mounted privately, which
results in the same logical name in two different access-mode
logical name tables), the incorrect file specification might
be displayed.
2.2 /CLOSED
Displays only CFBs whose access count is zero.
2.3 /CVB
/CVB=address
Displays CFBs whose CVB address matches the specified one.
2.4 /DISPLAY_NAME
/DISPLAY_NAME (default)
/NODISPLAY_NAME
Controls whether the file specification is displayed.
2.5 /EXTENTS
/EXTENTS
Displays the cache extents held in cache for any displayed files.
This shows the primary and secondary cache extents along with their
data state and VBNs. Also shows a summary of memory usage (pagelets
used and pagelets valid) for any displayed files. The /EXTENTS
qualifier is incompatible with the /BRIEF qualifier.
2.6 /FULL
Displays all fields for each Cache File Block except for those
displayed by the /EXTENTS and the /STATISTICS qualifiers. This
is the default.
If the file specification is available, via LIB$FID_TO_NAME(),
it is displayed; otherwise, the FID is displayed. Note that,
because the volume is accessed through its logical name, if
two volumes are mounted that have the same logical name (for
example, one mounted /SYSTEM and one mounted privately, which
results in the same logical name in two different access-mode
logical name tables), the incorrect file specification might
be displayed.
2.7 /ID
/ID=file-id
Displays only information about files whose file ID match the one
specified. The file id (FID) is the hex file number component in a
[file number, sequence number, relative volume number]-format file ID.
2.8 /OPEN
Displays only CFBs whose access count is greater than zero.
2.9 /STATISTICS
/STATISTICS
Displays more statistics about the specified file. The /STATISTICS
qualifier is incompatible with the /BRIEF qualifier.
