Look up FILEINFO() function.
Look up STATUS statement (STATEMENT, not function), too.
$include UNIVERSE.INCLUDE FILEINFO.H

The UV documentation talks about
$INCLUDE SYSCOM FILEINFO.INC
instead of
$INCLUDE UNIVERSE.INCLUDE FILEINFO.H
but that's language cribbed from old Prime Information manuals and never
corrected.
All the above is from memory. I might have a few details wrong, but that's
the vibe of the thing.
