NOPATH

Synopsis

HELP:   Exclude directory path of the original file in the compressed data [FALSE]
TYPE:   SWITCH
SYNTAX: NOPATH

Description

This specification has the effect that the file name of the original file is saved without path to the FLAMFILE (UNIX and WINDOWS only).

When compressing with ATTRIBUTES=all, FLAM stores the entire absolute path name of the original file in the compressed file's file header. Trying to create a file with the original path at decompression may cause problems on systems with a different directory structure or file naming syntax. With the nopath parameter, only the filename is stored properly while the directory path is discarded.

Syntax restrictions for FLAMv4 or older:

• UNIX
  • -nopath
• WINDOWS
  • nopath

Values

• none

Default

• none

Valid for
