All of the operations that you can do through the integrated file system menus and displays (see Perform operations using iSeries menus and displays) can be done by entering control language (CL) commands. These commands can operate on files and other objects in any file system that are accessible through the integrated file system interface.

Table 1 summarizes the integrated file system commands. For more information on CL commands that are specifically related to user-defined file systems, the Network File System, and mounted file systems in general, see User-defined file system (UDFS) and Network File System (NFS). Where a command performs the same operation as an OS/2 or DOS command, an alias (an alternative command name) is provided for the convenience of OS/2 and DOS users.
