New Features of MPE/iX: Using the Hierarchical File System

Creating Files with HFS Syntax 

To create a file with an HFS name or a file in an HFS directory, you can
use the BUILD command.  For example,

     :BUILD ./.a

or

     :BUILD .a

Note that any file moved into an HFS directory is assigned an ACD
automatically if it doesn't already have one.

Most often, files using HFS syntax are created and managed by HFS-aware
applications using programmatic interfaces.
