show entry(1m) show entry(1m)NAME
show entry - Shows the NSI attributes of a name service entry
SYNOPSIS
rpccp show entry entry-name [-i if-id] [-s syntax] [-u]
OPTIONS
Selects a specified interface identifier (optional). Only elements
containing that identifier are shown.
The interface identifier value has the following form:
interface-uuid,major-version.minor-version
The UUID is a hexadecimal string and the version numbers are decimal
strings, for example: -i ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1 Lead‐
ing zeros in version numbers are ignored. Indicates the name syntax of
the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce
name syntax, which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative
name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.
Updates the local CDS cache copy of name service data (optional).
Name service data is cached locally on each machine in a cell. If an
rpccp inquiry can be satisfied by data in the local CDS cache, this
cached data is returned. Locally cached copies of name service data
might not include a recent CDS update, however. If the required data
is not available in the local CDS cache, rpccp goes to a CDS server(s)
to retrieve the required data. rpccp then updates the local CDS cache.
Using the -u option bypasses the local cache, allowing rpccp to go
directly to a CDS server for the inquiry. rpccp then updates the local
CDS cache.
ARGUMENTS
Indicates the name of the target name service entry. For an entry in
the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-
relative name.
DESCRIPTION
The show entry command shows the NSI attributes of a name service
entry. The name of the entry is required.
Note that this operation shows all of the compatible bindings for a
given interface.
The show entry command shows the same list of string bindings as the
import operation returns for the specified entry. This list includes
all string bindings that refer to a major version that matches the
specified version and a minor version that is equal to or greater than
the specified version. The list may include string bindings exported
for other versions of the interface that are upwardly compatible,
rather than for this particular version of the interface.
Privilege Required
You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target name ser‐
vice entry).
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following command operates from the system prompt to show the name
service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/calendar_mgr_node_3. $ rpccp show entry
/.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3 The following commands run the control pro‐
gram and show the name service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group: $
rpccp rpccp> show entry \ > /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
