 NAME

   add object - Adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute
                (including application-defined attributes) of an
                object entry

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp add object  object-name attribute-name = attribute-value

 ARGUMENTS

   object-name
             The full name of the object entry.

   attribute-name
             The name of a particular attribute.  Specify only one
             attribute at a time.  See the cds_attributes file for
             the list of attributes and corresponding data types
             that your application uses.

   attribute-value
             The value of a particular attribute.  The value of an
             application-defined attribute is dependent on the type
             of attribute.

 DESCRIPTION

   The add object command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued
   attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object
   entry.  If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it.
   Usually, this task is performed through the client application.
   See the DCE Administration Guide for more information about
   attributes.

   Privilege Required

   You must have write permission to the object entry.

 NOTE
   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
   may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLE

   To add the value ps to the attribute printcap of an object entry
   named /.:/subsys/deskprinter, read the cds_attributes file to
   verify that the attribute shown in the following display exists:

                   OID          LABEL          SYNTAX
               1.3.22.1.3.70   printcap        char

   Enter the following command to assign the value ps to the
   attribute printcap:

        cdscp> add object /.:/subsys/deskprinter printcap = ps
