 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

   -i        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

             Leading zeros in version numbers are ignored.

   -s        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.

   -u        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

   entry-name
             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
   service 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 program and show the name
   service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group:

        $ rpccp
        rpccp> show entry    \
        > /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
