where:

object
Specifies the name of a dcecp administration object. Examples of administration objects are CDS directories, access control lists (ACLs), DTS servers, server control objects, and so on. Each administration object is briefly described below.

operation
Specifies the name of an action such as create, show, or remove, that is to be performed on an administration object. Refer to individual object reference pages for complete descriptions of operations supported by each dcecp object.

argument
Specifies the name of one or more specific objects to operate on. Most, but not all, dcecp objects take an argument. Refer to the individual reference pages for descriptions of the arguments supported by various objects.

-option
Specifies a qualifier that controls the precise behavior of a dcecp command. Most, but not all, dcecp commands take options. Specify options by preceding the option name with a hyphen as in -replica. Some options take an argument that can be a name or a value. The following example shows a -clearinghouse option and its argument, which is the name of a CDS clearinghouse.

directory create /.:/admin -clearinghouse /.:/boston_ch
