You use the pdxtblkres command to block one or more Xerox resource files. The syntax for the command is:

pdxtblkres [ -f filename.ext ] [ file ... ]

The pdxtblkres command options are:

-f filename.ext

Specifies the file name that the command uses in the header record or label record of the blocked resource. If you do not use the -f command option, the default name that the command uses depends on how you specified the input data:

• If you explicitly specify the name of a Xerox resource file, the command uses the name of the resource file. The extension for the file name that you specify must be .cmd, .fsl, .isl, or .jsl.
• If you use standard input to pass the Xerox resource, the command uses the default name dfault.jsl.
  Note: The pdxtblkres command does not verify that the Xerox resource is a CMD, FSL, ISL, or JSL.

If you use the -f command option, you can only block one resource at a time.

file ...

Specifies one or more Xerox resource files that you want the command to block. When the command blocks the resource, it replaces the contents of the existing file with the blocked output. If you do not specify a file name, the command reads from standard input and writes to standard output.

You can specify more than one file. Separate the file names with spaces.
