OSF DCE Administration Guide—Core Components
For a complete listing of a directory’s contents, you enter the directory list command
with the name of the directory or directories whose contents you wish to view. For
example:
dcecp> directory list /.:/eng
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/aud-acl \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/aud-svc \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/cds-clerk \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/cds-server \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/dts-entity \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/profile \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/self \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/CDS_CTS \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/CDS_UTS \
By default, the directory list command displays the full names of the objects (the object
names preceeded by /.../pathname ) contained in the directory. To list only the RDNs of
the objects, enter the directory list command with the -simplename option.
To display the names of a particular kind of directory descendant only, you include the
appropriate option of the directory list command. For example, you enter the following
command to display the names of all the soft links that are stored in the /.:/eng directory:
dcecp> directory list /.:/eng/ -links
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/CDS_CTS \
/.../eng_cell.osf.org/hosts/eng/CDS_UTS
19.2.1 Displaying the Attribute Values of CDS Names
To display any or all of the current values of the attributes associated with the names in a
namespace (except for clerks or servers), use the dcecp show command.
The basic syntax of the show command is as follows:
object-type show object-name
where object-type is the type of CDS object about which you want to display
information, and object-name is a complete directory specification terminating with a
simple name (that is, the full CDS name) of the object you are inquiring about.
To use the show command, you must have read permission to the name that you want to
display.
In the following example, the show command is used to display the current values of the
CDS_CHDirectories attribute associated with the /.:/Chicago2_CH clearinghouse. The
display returned by the command shows two values for the attribute, each value having
two parts. The parts of the attribute value are UUID of Directory and Name of
Directory. The show command displays the values separately. For each value, it first
lists the attribute name on a line ending with a colon, then the parts of the value.
