add object(8cds)

Synopsis

cdscp add object object-name attribute-name = attribute-value

Arguments

object-name
The full name of the object entry.

attribute-name
The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses.

attribute-value
The value of a particular attribute. The value of an application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.

Description
The add object command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry. If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the DCE Administration Guide for more information about attributes.

Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission to the object 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
To add the value ps to the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/subsys/deskprinter, see the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components to verify that the attribute shown in the following display exists:

OID LABEL SYNTAX 1.3.22.1.3.70 printcap char

Enter the following command to assign the value ps to the attribute printcap:

cdscp> add object /.:/subsys/deskprinter printcap = ps
