Attributes
The following are the CDS-defined attributes that may be present in CDS link objects:
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 renewed or deleted. Its value is a list of two elements enclosed in braces:
{expiration_time extension_time}:
· The expiration-time. A date and time after which CDS checks for the existence of the soft link's target and either extends or deletes the soft link. The value is specified as yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss, and portions of it can be defaulted.
· The extension-time. A period of time by which to extend the soft link's expiration time (if the server has validated that the target still exists). The value is specified as ddd-hh:mm:ss, and portions of it can be defaulted.
CDS_UTS
Specifies the timestamp of the most recent update to an attribute of the soft link. The value of this attribute is a DTS-style timestamp. The attribute is written by
the system and is read-only to users.
