Implementations
[ edit ] Description of the TYPE command of RT-11SJ displayed on a VT100 .
The command is available in the operating systems DEC RT-11 ,[1] OS/8 ,[2] RSX-11 ,[3] TOPS-10 ,[4] TOPS-20 ,[5] VMS , Digital Research CP/M ,[6] MP/M ,[7] [8] MetaComCo TRIPOS ,[9] Heath Company HDOS ,[10] AmigaDOS ,[11] DOS , FlexOS ,[12] TSL PC-MOS ,[13] SpartaDOS X ,[14] IBM /Toshiba 4690 OS ,[15] OS/2 , Microsoft Windows ,[16] ReactOS ,[17] AROS ,[18] SymbOS .[19]
The type command is supported by Tim Paterson 's SCP 86-DOS .[20] On MS-DOS , the command is available in versions 1 and later.[21] DR DOS 6.0 also includes an implementation of the TYPE command.[22]
It is also available in the open source MS-DOS emulator DOSBox and the EFI shell .[23]
In Windows PowerShell , type command alias for the Get-Content Cmdlet which basically serves the same purpose. TYPE originated as an internal command in 86-DOS .
The command-syntax and feature set between operating systems and command shell implementations can differ as can be seen in the following examples.
DEC RT-11
[ edit ]
In Digital Equipment Corporation 's RT-11 , the command accepts up to six input file specifications. Multiple file specifications are separated with commas .
The default filetype is .LST. Wildcards are accepted in place of filenames or filetypes.
Syntax
[ edit ]
The command-syntax on RT-11 is:
TYPE[/options] filespecs
COPIES:n
DELETE
LOG
NEWFILES
NOLOG
QUERY
WAIT
Examples
[ edit ] TYPE/COPIES:3 REPORT
TYPE/NEWFILES *.LST
[ edit ]
In Digital Research CP/M , the command expands tabs and line-feed characters (CTRL-I), assuming tab positions are set at every eighth column.
The command does not support wildcard characters on FlexOS .[12]
Syntax
[ edit ]
The command-syntax on CP/M is:
TYPE ufn
Note: ufn = unambiguous file reference
In MP/M , the command has a pause mode. It is specified by entering a 'P' followed by two decimal digits after the filename. The specified number of lines will be displayed and then the command will pause until a carriage return is entered.[7]
