NIDOMAIN(8)							   NIDOMAIN(8)

NAME
       nidomain - NetInfo domain utility

SYNOPSIS
       nidomain -l [ hostname ]

       nidomain -m tag

       nidomain -d tag

       nidomain -c tag master/remotetag

DESCRIPTION
       The  nidomain  utility is an interface to nibindd(8), to which it sends
       all of its requests about the domains served on a  given	 machine.   It
       also can be used to create and destroy NetInfo databases.

       The  nidomain  utility  will  allow  one	 to  create multiple levels of
       NetInfo hierarchy, but it is not a particularly easy way to do it.  One
       should  use  the	 NetInfo Manager application for setting up multilevel
       hierarchies.

OPTIONS
       -l [ hostname ]
	      List the domains by  tag	served	on  the	 given	hostname.   If
	      hostname is unspecified, the local host is used.

       -m tag Create  a	 new  NetInfo database and server on the local machine
	      for the domain tag of tag.

       -d tag Destroy the local NetInfo database and  server  associated  with
	      the  domain  tagged  tag.	 If the database was associated with a
	      clone, the machine's ``serves'' property on the  master  is  NOT
	      modified to reflect the fact that the database has been deleted.

       -c tag master/remotetag
	      Creates  a  clone	 NetInfo  database with the domain tagged tag.
	      The database is cloned from the machine master  and  remote  tag
	      remotetag.   The	machine's ``serves'' property should be set up
	      prior to running this command to contain the entry "./tag".
