=head1 SYNOPSIS
use VMS::Filespec;
+$fullspec = rmsexpand('[.VMS]file.specification'[, 'default:[file.spec]']);
$vmsspec = vmsify('/my/Unix/file/specification');
$unixspec = unixify('my:[VMS]file.specification');
$path = pathify('my:[VMS.or.Unix.directory]specification.dir');
This package provides routines to simplify conversion between VMS and
Unix syntax when processing file specifications. This is useful when
porting scripts designed to run under either OS, and also allows you
-to take advantage of conveniences provided by either syntax (e.g.
+to take advantage of conveniences provided by either syntax (I<e.g.>
ability to easily concatenate Unix-style specifications). In
addition, it provides an additional file test routine, C<candelete>,
which determines whether you have delete access to a file.
errors. In general, any legal file specification will be converted
properly, but garbage input tends to produce garbage output.
+Each of these routines is prototyped as taking a single scalar
+argument, so you can use them as unary operators in complex
+expressions (as long as you don't use the C<&> form of
+subroutine call, which bypasses prototype checking).

The routines provided are:
+=head2 rmsexpand
+
+Uses the RMS $PARSE and $SEARCH services to expand the input
+specification to its fully qualified form, except that a null type
+or version is not added unless it was present in either the original
+file specification or the default specification passed to C<rmsexpand>.
+(If the file does not exist, the input specification is expanded as much
+as possible.) If an error occurs, returns C<undef> and sets C<$!>
+and C<$^E>.
