 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      show entry - Shows the NSI attributes of a name service entry

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      rpccp show entry  entry-name
      [-i if-id]   [-s syntax]   [-u]


 OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
      -i        Selects a specified interface identifier (optional).  Only
                elements containing that identifier are shown.

                The interface identifier value has the following form:

                interface-uuid,major-version.minor-version

                The UUID is a hexadecimal string and the version numbers are
                decimal strings, for example:

                -i ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1

                Leading zeros in version numbers are ignored.

      -s        Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The
                only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is
                the default name syntax. Until an alternative name syntax
                becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.

      -u        Updates the local CDS cache copy of name service data
                (optional).

                Name service data is cached locally on each machine in a
                cell.  If an rpccp inquiry can be satisfied by data in the
                local CDS cache, this cached data is returned.  Locally
                cached copies of name service data might not include a
                recent CDS update, however. If the required data is not
                available in the local CDS cache, rpccp goes to a CDS
                server(s) to retrieve the required data. rpccp then updates
                the local CDS cache.

                Using the -u option bypasses the local cache, allowing rpccp
                to go directly to a CDS server for the inquiry.  rpccp then
                updates the local CDS cache.


 ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]
      entry-name
                Indicates the name of the target name service entry.  For an
                entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and
                specify only the cell-relative name.

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The show entry command shows the NSI attributes of a name service
      entry.  The name of the entry is required.

      Note that this operation shows all of the compatible bindings for a
      given interface.

      The show entry command shows the same list of string bindings as the
      import operation returns for the specified entry.  This list includes
      all string bindings that refer to a major version that matches the
      specified version and a minor version that is equal to or greater than
      the specified version.  The list may include string bindings exported
      for other versions of the interface that are upwardly compatible,
      rather than for this particular version of the interface.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target name
      service entry).

 NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]
      This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
      not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      The following command operates from the system prompt to show the name
      service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/calendar_mgr_node_3.

       rpccp show entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_3

      The following commands run the control program and show the name
      service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group:

       rpccp
      pccp> show entry    \
       /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
