DESCRIPTION

       ns_chmod filename mode
              Change a file's access permissions.  ns_chmod changes the specified file's permissions to mode, in
              the same manner as the Unix chmod(1) command-line utility.

       ns_cp -preserve file1 file2
              Copy  one  file  to another.  ns_cp copies the contents of file1 to file2, just like the Unix "cp"
              command. The default directory is the home directory for the server.  If -preserve  is  specified,
              the  copied file will retain the creation time, modification time, owner, and mode of the original
              file, just like the Unix "cp -p" command.

       ns_cpfp fileid1 fileid2 ?nbytes?
              Copy a specified number of bytes from one file to another.  ns_cpfp copies  information  from  one
              file (fileid1) to another (fileid2). If you specify a number of bytes in the nbytes argument, only
              the specified number of bytes will be copied. By default, the entire file is copied.

       ns_ftruncate fileid ?length?
              Truncate an open file to a specified length.  ns_ftruncate  causes  the  open  file  specified  by
              fileid  to  have  a size of length bytes. If length is not specified, it causes the file to have a
              size of zero bytes. The file must be open and be a regular file.

       ns_link ?-nocomplain? filename1 filename2
              Create a link.  ns_link creates a link named filename2  that  points  to  the  file  specified  by
              filename1. If the link fails, a Tcl error is generated, unless -nocomplain is specified.

       ns_mkdir path
              Create  a directory.  ns_mkdir creates the directory named PATH, just like the Unix mkdir command.
              By default, under Unix the directory is created with the file permissions set  to  0755  (rwxr-xr-
              x.). These permissions can be modified by setting the umask parameter for the server.

       ns_rename file1 file2
              Rename a file.  ns_rename renames the first file (file1) to the file name specified by file2. Make
              sure that the files and the directories in which the files exist are read/write accessible to  the
              username that's running the AOLserver.

       ns_rmdir path
              Remove  a directory.  ns_rmdir removes the directory named path, just like the Unix rmdir command.
              The directory must already be empty.

       ns_unlink [-nocomplain] filename
              Remove a file.  ns_unlink attempts to remove the file filename. If -nocomplain is  not  passed  in
              and the removal fails, a Tcl error is generated.

       ns_truncate filename ?length?
              Truncate  a file to a specified length.  ns_truncate causes the file specified by filename to have
              a size of length bytes. If length is not specified, it causes filename to  have  a  size  of  zero
              bytes. The file must exist and be a regular file.

       ns_unlink [-nocomplain] filename
              Remove  a  file.   ns_unlink attempts to remove the file filename. If -nocomplain is not passed in
              and the removal fails, a Tcl error is generated.
