Controlling Access to the Byte File System

The Byte File System (BFS) is a tree-structured file system consisting of directories and files. Security for the file system directories and files is based on a UNIX model of security. Each file and directory is assigned an owning UID and an owning GID.

The HOME keyword defines the initial directory pathname. This is the initial directory used when a user enters the OPENVM command or enters the OVM shell.
