s-pointer
Defines a remote file which is saved as if it were local.
Description
defines a remote file which is saved as if it were local.
The first attribute of such a pointer must be 'QS'. The second attribute must be null. The third attribute must be a remote host name followed by a colon followed by the remote file name.
Any header information associated with a particular file driver is also saved to guarantee that the data can be restored with the same attributes as it was saved. For example, Unix files are saved with all permissions, ownerships, and update stamps intact.
Example
The following qs-pointer causes the file-save to save all accessable files (not
including sub-directories) in the Unix /u/john directory. Note that the Unix
permissions of the Pick user must be sufficient to access the data on that Unix
directory. See the 'Unix Files' item for more information on
specific options.
