show entry(8rpc)
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 to retrieve the required data and 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 and then update 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.
Privileges Required
You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target name service entry).
Notes
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
