NAME
       niutil - NetInfo utility

SYNOPSIS
       niutil [ -t ] [ -p ] -createprop domain path propkey [ propval ... ]

       niutil [ -t ] [ -p ] -destroyprop domain path propkey

       niutil [ -t ] [ -p ] -read domain path

       niutil [ -t ] [ -p ] -list domain path

       niutil [ -t ] [ -p ] -create domain path

       niutil [ -t ] [ -p ] -destroy domain path

DESCRIPTION
       niutil  lets  you to do arbitrary reads and writes on the given NetInfo
       domain.	In order to perform writes, niutil must be run as root on  the
       NetInfo	master	for  the database, unless the -p option is given.  The
       directory specified by path is separated by "/"s, similar to UNIX.  The
       property	 names	may be given in the path using a "=", but will default
       to the property name "name".  For example, the following	 refers	 to  a
       user with the user ID 3.

       "/name=users/uid=3"

       The following shorter form would also be sufficient:

       "/users/uid=3"

       You  may	 specify  a numeric ID for the directory instead of the string
       path.

OPTIONS
       -t     Interpret	 the  domain  as  a  tagged  domain.	For   example,
	      "parrish/network" refers to the database tagged "network" on the
	      machine "parrish".  You may supply an IP address	instead	 of  a
	      machine name.

       -p     Prompt for the root password of the given domain so that one can
	      run from other locations in the network besides the master.

       -createprop domain path propkey [ propval ... ]
	      Create a new property in the directory path.  propkey refers  to
	      the  name	 of  the  property;  0	or more property values may be
	      specified.   If  the  named  property   already	exists,	  it's
	      overwritten.

       -destroyprop domain path propkey
	      Destroy the property with name propkey in the given path.

       -list domain path
	      List  the	 directories  in the given domain/path.	 The directory
	      ID's are listed along with any names they may have.

       -read domain path
	      Read the properties associated with the directory	 specified  in
	      the given path.

       -create domain path
	      Create a new directory with the given path.

       -destroy domain path
	      Destroy the directory with the given path.

EXAMPLE
       "niutil	-list  . /" list the directories at the top level in the local
       NetInfo database.
