Synopsis

adl_mk_type file_type -text | -bin -exec | -not_exec [-h | -help | -?]

Usage

SCM associates an object type with each file given as parameter of the [1] adl_mk_elem command. If this command fails, use the [2] adl_ls_type command to known all the available types (suffixes of the files) known by SCM and their characteristics (binary file or text file, executable file or not executable file).

If you have to create a new file type, use the adl_mk_type command. This command is an administrator command. SCM users can't create their own file's types.

The information you have to give are:

the file type name
the content type : either text or binary. These content type are exclusive.
the Unix executable type either executable or not executable. These content type are exclusive.
