 NAME

   set link - Changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued attribute
              of a soft link

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp set link link-name attribute-name = attribute-value

 ARGUMENTS

   link-name The full name of the soft link.

   attribute-name
             The name of the attribute to be modified.  Specify only one
             attribute at a time. See Description for valid attribute
             names.

   attribute-value
             The value of a particular attribute.

 DESCRIPTION

   The set link command changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued
   attribute of a soft link.  The following are valid attributes:

   CDS_LinkTarget = fullname
             Specifies the full name of the directory, object entry, or
             other soft link to which the soft link points.

   CDS_LinkTimeout = (expiration-time extension-time)
             Specifies a timeout value after which the soft link is
             either checked or deleted.  The timeout value contains both
             an expiration time and an extension time.  If a soft link
             expires and its target entry is deleted, the soft link is
             deleted.  If the soft link still points to an existing entry,
             its life is extended by the expiration time.  Specify
             expiration-time in the format yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss
             (year-month-day-hour:minute:second).  Specify extension-time
             in the format ddd-hh:mm:ss (day-hour:minute:second).

   Privilege Required

   You must have write permission to the soft link.

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

 EXAMPLE

   The following command redirects a soft link named /.:/admin/work_disk
   from its current destination name, /.:/admin/work_disk01, to a new
   destination name, /.:/admin/work_disk03.

        cdscp> set link /.:/admin/work_disk CDS_LinkTarget = \
        _> /.:/admin/work_disk03
