NAME [Toc] [Back]
nisls - list the contents of an NIS+ directory
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
nisls [ -dglLmMR ] [ name... ]
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
For each name that is an NIS+ directory, nisls lists the contents of
the directory. For each name that is an NIS+ object other than a
directory, nisls simply echos the name. If no name is specified, the
first directory in the search path (see nisdefaults(1)) is listed.
Options [Toc] [Back]
-d Treat NIS+ directories like other NIS+ objects, rather than
listing their contents.
-g Display group owner instead of owner when listing in long format.
-l List in long format. This option displays additional information
about the objects such as their type, creation time, owner, and
access rights.
The access rights are listed in the following order in long mode:
nobody, owner, group owner, and world.
-L This option specifies that links are to be followed. If name
actually points to a link, it is followed to the linked object.
-m Display modification time instead of creation time when listing
in long format.
-M Master only. This specifies that information is to be returned
from the master server of the named object. This guarantees that
the most up-to-date information is seen at the possible expense
that the master server may be busy.
-R List directories recursively. This option will reiterate the
list for each subdirectory found in the process of listing each
name.
