hostdata create

hostdata create
hostdata_name_list {-attribute
-attribute_list |
attribute value} [-binary] [-local]

Options

-attribute attribute_list
Allows you to specify attributes using an attribute list rather than using the -attribute value option. The format of an attribute list is as follows:

{{attribute value}…{attribute value}}

-attribute value
As an alternative to using the -attribute option with an attribute list, you can specify individual attribute options by prepending a hyphen (-) to any attributes listed in Attributes.

-binary
Specifies that the value of the data attribute is in binary form.

-local
Specifies that the command should operate on the local dced hostdata object while the dced object is in a partial-service state.

Description
The hostdata_name_list argument is a list of names of hostdata entries to be created. The -attributes option specifies configuration information for dced. The contents of the hostdata file can be specified via the data attribute. The value of the option is applied to all elements of the argument list. This operation returns an empty string on success.

Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission to the hostdata container on the host.
