Interactive mode

If this option is enabled, BackupST will go into interative mode. It will first read the archive index  and then enter a little subshell. The following command are available:
ls [directory]
dir [directory]
This command will list the contents of a directory. If you don't specify a directory, the current directory is listed by instead. By default, no files are extracted in interactive mode. Only the files specifically 'added' (see command add) by the user are extracted. Files to be extracted are marked by a '+'. Directories are marked by a ' \'. Directories are never marked by a '+', only the contents of a directory is. If you list the contents of a directory, you see the contents of a fictive disk. There is absolute no relation with the current contents of the hard disk. This so fictive disk has a root directory under which all disks are mounted. If you type 'ls' at the root level you probably only see the volume label(s) of the disks you have stored in this archive. If only one 'disk' is available, an automatic 'cd disk' will be done when the program is started.
ll [directory]
The 'll' command will make a long directory listing. (see ls)
quit
stop
exit
This will abort the program without extracting the marked files.
help [command]
h [command]
This command gives a list of all commands available. If an argument is given, an explanation of this command is given.
cd [directory]
chdir [directory]
Change directory to 'directory'. If no argument is given, the new directory is the root directory of the ramdirectory.
add [files]
Add files to the list of files to be extracted. If the argument is a directory, all files in this directory are added to the list. Regular expressions are also valid. Added files are marked by a '+' in front of the filename in a 'ls' command. (see 'ls')
rm [files]
Opposite of add command. Same syntax.
extract
retrieve
go
Retrieve all marked files from the archive.
