LISTFILE
F or example, [a-c] means one of `a', `b', or `c'. [-a-c] or [a-c-]
means one of `a', `b', `c', or `-'.
Note that it is illegal to sp ecify [c-a], or [a-A] b ecause `c' do es
not alphab etically precede `a' and upp ercase `A' comes b efore
low ercase `a'(in ASCI I c haracter ev aluation). Also note that it
is legal to sp ecify [A-z] and an y legal sp ecial c haracters.
The le names dot (.) and dot-dot (..) ha v e sp ecial meaning,
that is, curren t directory and the paren t of the curren t

If the leset parameter b egins with a slash (/), the pathname
is assumed to b e an absolute pathname; otherwise, it is
considered to b e CWD relativ e.
If leset ends in a slash, it is treated as a directory name,
and p attern is used to determine the le names that match.
All the directories and les that match leset are found, and
searc hed recursiv ely to display the les and directories that
match p attern . F or example, if leset is /SYS/@/ , all les and
sub directories within SYS , and all les and directories within
those sub directories are display ed. In this case @ is assumed for
p attern .
If leset do es not end in a slash, all of the les that match
leset are display ed. F or example, if leset is /SYS/@ , y ou will
see a list of all les and sub directories in the SYS directory , but
not an y les or directories within those sub directories.
If y ou ha v e sp ecied TREE , a trailing slash is assumed at the
end of the leset (if not presen t).
F or example,
LISTFILE /SYS/@;TREE
b eha v es like:
LISTFILE /SYS/@/
On the other hand, if y ou sp ecifyNOTREE , the trailing slash, if
presen t at the end of a leset, is ignored. Hence,
