S command

The S command scans the buffer table bits and displays and/or clears them depending on the certain criteria.

Syntax

S[f|h|i|m|s|w]{-}

Parameter(s)


-	Clears instead of displays.
f	Referenced bit.
h	Hold bit.
i	Iobusy bit (disk read).
m	Temporary mlock bit.
s	Suppresses detail output and shows only the total.
w	Write-required bit.

Description

The user specifies which bits to search for using the above options. When a buffer is found, it displays in a manner similar to that of the h command. The user may go backward or forward in the selection list using CTRL+P and CTRL+N. At completion, the total count of items is indicated.

Note: The count is only accurate if forward movement only is used.
