finding file types

how to find the file types in 11.23

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

What are you looking to do or find?

Perhaps you want:

# file <>
...which gives you a 'magic' interpretation of what a file's contents appear to be.

Regards!

HI (again):

...of course, if you mean 'type' as in 'find()' then see the manpages for 'find' under the '-type' option.

Regards!

i want to know the file system is whether NFS or HFS or vxfs, so can anyone tell what is the command

[sujit kumar singh]

hi

you can well refer to man pages of command find, on your system.

#man find

see details of the option
-type -- for finding type of files
-fstype -- for fstype you want to find

hi


you can tell for a filesystem as HFS or VXFS using the fstyp -v command


#bdf

get the device file as in the first column of the O/p.

then for exapmle
#fstyp -v /dev/vg00/lvol1

this shall show if that is HFS or VXFS.

#bdf and #mount also shall show if a FileSystem is mounted as an NFS FileSystem from some NFS server.

Run the below command and it will show you the information regarding the filesystem(HFS or Vxfs).
#fstyp -v /dev/vg00/lvol3
vxfs

f_bfree: 16088
f_bavail: 16088

Hi,

>how to find the file types

# file file name ( it will give the type like ascii, text etc...)


>i want to know the file system is whether NFS or HFS or vxfs,

#fstyp -v lv name or

#df -g /mount point ( it will give the fs type, block size ....if f_flag: 16 or 0x10 flags which mean it support large file more than 2 Gb)
