show cell(8cds)

Synopsis

cdscp show cell cell-name [as type]

Arguments

cell-name
The global name of the cell.

as type
The global namespace in which you want to define the cell. Enter either of the values dns or gds. The default is gds.

Description
The show cell command displays the information you need to create a cell entry in either the Domain Name System (DNS) or the Global Directory Service (GDS). DCE does not support cells registered simultaneously in GDS and DNS. If you want to define a cell in DNS, you can use this command to produce a preformatted set of resource records. You can then edit the appropriate DNS data file and copy the output directly into the file. In GDS, cell information is contained in two attributes: CDS-Cell and CDS-Replica. If you want to define a cell in GDS, you can use this command to obtain the data you need to supply when creating the CDS-Cell and CDS-Replica attributes. For details, see the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components .

Privileges Required
You must have r (read) permission to the cell root directory.

Notes
This command may be replaced in future releases by the dcecp command, and may no longer be supported at that time.

Examples
The following command displays the GDS-formatted output in the local cell:

cdscp> show cell /.../abc.com as gds
