Logical File command line reference

lmi file is a command for LMI metacommand, which allows to query file system structure on a remote host with installed OpenLMI logicalfile provider. It can also create and delete empty directories – mount points.

It’s aim is to provide just that. It is not and won’t ever be a general purpose file manipulation tool. It does not allow to read, write or copy regular files for security reasons.
