To get the content of a (non-archived) passings file, the host sends
GETFILE;<FileNo>[;<S>[:<C>]]<CrLf>
Where
<FileNo> | File number of requested passings file. |
<S> | Start index into passings file |
<C> | Number of passings to transfer. (If omitted only a single passing is returned.) |
If both <S> and <C> are omitted, the whole file is returned.
If the given file number is invalid the decoder will respond with.
GETFILE;ERROR<CrLf>
If the request is successful the decoder responds with:
GETFILE;<FileNo><CrLf>
<PassingsData>
For further information refer to Get Single Passing, Get Multi Passing and Passing record sections. Note: passing records are sent in the currently active protocol version. Random access into passing records is possible but not recommended, since implementation is optimized for sequential access.
