Determining Ownership of a File or Directory

The FILELIST SHARE screen is also quite useful for determining the owner of a file. When you enter the FILELIST command with the SHARE option, the FILELIST display shows a column labeled Owner. You can also use the SHARE option of the FILELIST command (or LISTFILE command) to determine the owners of any files or subdirectories contained within any directory.

For example, if you had a directory accessed with a file mode of T that contained several base files and aliases, you could determine the owner of any file by entering the command:

filelist * * t (share

The Owner column shows you the owner of each base file, alias, or directory.
