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.
