In tidying up my Econet and FileServer documents, I've been reading through the PiEconet supported functions and commands.
In the Acorn world the semantics for setting something is *SETxxx, eg *SetLoad, *SetExec, *SetType, etc. see link.
I think *CHOWN should be *SETOWN, or *SETOWNER.
File Server administration commands are usually *FSxxxxx, eg *FSMODE, *FSDISCNAME, *FSFORMAT, *FSSTATUS, etc. see link.
Things like DISCMASK,FNLENGTH should be *FSxxxx.
On the MDFS, *LOGOFF can take a user name to log off a specified user. *LOGOFF is the same as *BYE, *LOGOFF <userid>|<stnid> allows a privileged user to log a user off. I was wondering what *FLOG was until I realised what it was. It should be *LOGOFF.
*NETCONF should be *NETCONFIG. Again, the truncated naming thing. I kept seeing NETCONF as Net Conference not Net Configuration.
*NETxxxx is a consistant naming for network-specific things. NETSCAN, NETINFO, NETHELP, NETTALK, NETCAFE, etc.
As mentioned earlier, manipulating symbolic links should be *MKLINK, *UNLINK.
