  • The FILES Command:
    • The FILES command is used to find files in the AUX list.
    • The output can be filtered by the root name, extension or AUX name.
    • The /H switch can be used to show some of the key attributes of each file listed, such as: Type, Format, number of elements and number of data bytes. For example:
      • nM> files/h aux=dat
Auxiliary [DAT] = /home/burdell/nxm230/nxm/sys/dat/   (24 files)
 Type  Form   Elements   Data Bytes  Filename
