SETFIL(III) 10/29/73 SETFIL(III)
NAME
setfil - specify Fortran file name
SYNOPSIS
call setfil ( unit, hollerith-string )
DESCRIPTION
Setfil provides a primitive way to associate an integer I/O
unit number with a file named by the hollerith-string. The
end of the file name is indicated by a blank. Subsequent
I/O on this unit number will refer to file whose name is
specified by the string.
Setfil should be called only before any I/O has been done on
the unit, or just after doing a rewind or endfile. It is
ineffective for unit numbers 5 and 6.
SEE ALSO
fc (I)
BUGS
There is still no way to receive a file name or other
argument from the command line. Also, the exclusion of
units 5 and 6 is unwarranted.
