file

You use file to define a file.

Properties of a file:

• The file has a system-specific name.

• The file is located on a concrete system (partner) in a concrete directory (directory). If no partner is specified then the file is located on the local system.

Restrictions

The same restrictions apply as for filenames and directory (see sections “File Name attributes” and “Directory name attributes”).
