 NAME

   show link - Displays attribute information about the specified soft
               link

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp show link link-name [attribute-name] [with attribute-name =
                                               attribute-value]

 ARGUMENTS

   link-name The full name of a specific soft link.  The last simple
             name can contain wildcard characters.

   attribute-name
             The name of a particular attribute; see Description for
             valid attribute names.

   attribute-value
             The value of a particular attribute.

 DESCRIPTION

   The show link command displays the names and values of the attributes
   specified in attribute-name.  You can use a combination of attributes
   in any sequence in a single command. Use a space to separate multiple
   attributes.  You can use a with attribute-name = attribute-value
   clause to limit output only to soft links whose attributes have values
   equal to the specified values.  A space must precede and follow the =
   (equals sign).  If you do not supply any attributes, the command
   displays all attributes and their values.  The following is a
   description of soft link attributes:

   CDS_CTS   Specifies the creation timestamp (CTS) of this soft link

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

   CDS_LinkTimeout
             Specifies a timeout value after which the soft link is either
             checked or deleted

   CDS_UTS   Specifies the timestamp of the most recent update to an
             attribute of the soft link

   Privilege Required

   You must have read permission to the soft link.  If you specify a
   wildcard soft link name, you also need read permission to the
   directory that stores 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 displays the current values of all the
   attributes associated with the soft link /.:/sales/region1.

   cdscp> show link /.:/sales/region1

                    SHOW
                SOFTLINK   /.../abc.com/sales/region1

                 CDS_CTS = 1991-10-15-19:54:35.00000003/08-00-2b-1c-8f-1f
                 CDS_UTS = 1991-10-15-19:54:35.00000006/08-00-2b-1c-8f-1f
          CDS_LinkTarget = /.../abc.com/sales/service

                 CDS_UTS = 1991-10-15-19:54:36.00000009/08-00-2b-1c-8f-1f
          CDS_LinkTarget = /.../abc.com/sales/software
         CDS_LinkTimeout = :
              Expiration = 1991-10-15-00:00:00.0
