 The INITIALIZE command initializes a Files-11 volume. For more information 
 on a given qualifier, see HELP INITIALIZE qualifier.

 Privileged users can initialize QMG queues and processors.  See HELP
 INITIALIZE PROCESSOR and HELP INITIALIZE QUEUE.

2 DENSITY

 INITIALIZE/DENSITY:800    ddnn: volumelabel
		    1600
		    LOW
		    HIGH

 The /DENSITY qualifier specifies the density at which a magnetic
 tape is to be written. In the case of a floppy disk, it checks that
 the disk was formatted at the requested density.

 The default value is the lower of the two densities on a dual density
 drive. On single density drives, the qualifier serves as a check that
 the drive operates at the requested density.

 NOTE: The /DENSITY qualifier is the only legal qualifier when 
       initializing magnetic tapes.
2 EXTENSION

 INITIALIZE/EXTENSION:n ddnn: volumelabel

 The /EXTENSION qualifier specifies the default number of blocks by
 which a file will be extended when it has exhausted its allotted space.

 The default value is /EXTENSION:5.
2 HEADERS

 INITIALIZE/HEADERS:n	ddnn: volumelabel

 The /HEADERS qualifier specifies the number of file headers to
 allocate initially in the index file. The five system files
 INDEXF.SYS, BITMAP.SYS, BADBLK.SYS, CORIMG.SYS and 000000.DIR
 are not included in the value for n.

 The default values for n are listed in the table below.

	Device		Def		Device		Def

	DECtape		16		RF disk		16
	RK05		147		RK06		834
	RK07		1654
	RL01		314		RL02		629
	RM02/03		4049
	RP02		1230		RP03		2460
	RP04/05		5283		RP06		10478
	RS03/RS11	16		RS04		16
	RX01		16		RX02		16
2 INDEX

 INITIALIZE/INDEX:		ddnn: volumelabel
		  BEGINNING
		  MIDDLE
		  END
		  BLOCK:n

 The /INDEX qualifier specifies where on the volume the index
 file is to be placed. This qualifier can be used to force the
 index file, the Master File Directory, and the storage allocation
 file to a specific location on the disk, usually to minimize
 access time.

 The default is /INDEX:MIDDLE for all disk devices and
 /INDEX:BEGINNING for all magnetic tape devices.
2 MAXIMUM

 INITIALIZE/MAXIMUM:n	ddnn: volumelabel

 The /MAXIMUM qualifier specifies the maximum number of files
 permitted on the volume. The value for n includes the five
 system files.

 The minimum value for n is 5.

 The default and maximum values for n are listed in the table below.

	Device		Def/Max		Device		Def/Max

	DECtape		34/278		RF disk		62/499
	RK05		294/2357	RK06		1668/13344
	RK07		3308/25600
	RL01		629/5034	RL02		1259/10074
	RM02/03		8099/25600
	RP02		2460/19680	RP03		4920/25600
	RP04/05		10567/25600	RP06		20956/25600
	RS03/RS11	62/499		RS04		125/1003
	RX01		29/238		RX02		60/481
2 OWNER

 INITALIZE/OWNER:[uic]

 The /OWNER qualifier specifies the owning uic of the volume.
 The square brackets are required syntax.

 The default value is /OWNER:[1,1].

 RSX-11M-PLUS does not protect a volume at the UIC level. It does,
 however, prevent direct access to mounted volumes by nonprivileged
 tasks. This qualifier permits volume interchangeability with
 RSX-11D.
2 PROTECTION

 INITIALIZE/PROTECTION:(code) ddnn: volumelabel

 The /PROTECTION qualifier specifies the default protection for all
 files created on the volume being initialized. Each access code
 consists of a positional keyword specifying the protection group
 (SYSTEM:, OWNER:, GROUP:, WORLD:) folowed by a 4-code group specifying
 the protection, as follows:

	R - allow read acces to file
	W - allow write access to file
	E - allow file to be extended
	D - allow file to be deleted

 The default value is /PROTECTION:(SYS:RWED,OWN:RWED,GRO:RWED,WOR:RWED).
2 NOVERIFIED
#VERIFIED
2 VERIFIED

 INITIALIZE/VERIFIED	ddnn: volumelabel
 INITIALIZE/NOVERIFIED	ddnn: volumelabel

 The /VERIFIED qualifier specifies that bad-block information for the
 volume should be determined automatically by using the BAD system
 utility.

 The /NOVERIFIED qualifier specifies that bad-block information for
 the volume will be entered manually.
2 VOLUME_PROTECTION

 INITIALIZE/VOLUME_PROTECTION:(code) ddnn: volumelabel

 The /VOLUME_PROTECTION qualifier specifies the volume access rights.
 Each access code consists of a positional keyword specifying the
 protection group (SYSTEM:, OWNER:, GROUP:, WORLD) followed by a 4-code
 group specifying the protection, as follows:

	R - allow read access to volume
	W - allow write access to volume
	E - allow extend access to volume
	D - allow delete access to volume

 The default value is /VOLUME_PROTECTION:(S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RWED,W:RWED).

 RSX-11M-PLUS does not protect a volume at the UIC level. It does,
 however, prevent direct access to mounted volumes by nonprivileged
 tasks. This qualifier permits volume interchangeability with
 RSX-11D.
2 WINDOW

 INITIALIZE/WINDOW:n	ddnn: volumelabel

 The /WINDOW qualifier specifies the number of mapping pointers to be
 allocated for file windows. A file window consists of a number of
 mapping pointers; it is stored in memory when the file is opened.

 The default value is /WINDOW:7.
