Display NIS+ tables and objects.
| -A |
Display the data within the table and all of the data in tables in the initial table's
concatenation path. |
| -h |
Display the header line prior to displaying the table. The header consists of the `#' (hash)
character followed by the name of each column. The column names are separated by the table separator character. |
| -L |
Follow links. When this option is specified, if tablename or name names a LINK type object, the link is followed and the object or table named by
the link is displayed. |
| -M |
Master server only. This option specifies that the request should be sent to the master server of the named data. This guarantees that the most up-to-date information is seen at the possible expense of increasing the load on the master server and
increasing the possibility of the NIS+ server being unavailable or busy for updates. |
| -v |
Display binary data directly. This option displays columns containing binary data on the standard output. Without this option binary data is
displayed as the string *BINARY*. |
| -P |
Follow concatenation path. This option specifies that the request should follow the concatenation path of a table if the initial search is
unsuccessful. This option is only useful when using an indexed name for name and the -o option. |
| -s sep |
This option specifies the character to use to separate the table columns. If no character is
specified, the default separator for the table is used. |
| -o name |
Display the internal representation of the named
NIS+ object(s). If name is an indexed name (see nismatch), then each of the matching entry objects is displayed. This option is used to display access rights and other attributes of
individual columns. |
