Tivoli Storage Manager Using the Application Program Interface

Object Type

The object type identifies the object as either a file or a directory. A file is an object that contains both attributes and binary data, and a directory is an object that contains only attributes.

Following are four examples of object names. The first example displays what the application client would code on a UNIX platform:

   /myfs/highlev/lowlev

The second example displays what the application client would code on a Windows platform:

   "myvol\\highlev\\lowlev"
Note:
On a Windows platform, use a double backslash because a backslash is the escape character. The double backslashes are translated to single backslashes. Filespace names start with a slash on the UNIX platform, but do not start with a slash on the Windows platform.

The third example displays what the application client would code on a Novell NetWare platform:

   myvol:/highlev/lowlev

The fourth example displays what the application client would code on the OS/400 operating system:

   myfs/highlev/lowlev
