Some junctions are implied in a DCE name; others can be seen. There is an implied junction between the global prefix and either GDS or DNS. It occurs after the global prefix. The junction between either of the global namespaces and the local cell namespace is also implied. It occurs after the cell name. The junction between the local cell namespace and either the DFS namespace or the security namespace is shown by the symbol /fs or /sec, respectively. The following are examples of visible junctions in DCE names:
/.:/fs/usr/snowpaws /...
