 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      show group - Shows the members of a group

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      rpccp show group  group-entry-name
      [-m member]   [-r [  integer]]
      [-s syntax]    [-u]


 OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
      -m        Declares the name of a single group member.

      -r        Indicates that the show group operation recurses.  If any
                members of a group are also groups, their entries are shown.
                By default, the -r option causes the show group operation to
                recurse until all nested groups are expanded; for example,
                -r shows the members of the specified group and all nested
                groups.

                You can limit recursion to one or more levels by specifying
                a decimal integer as part of the -r option. For example, -r
                1 shows the members of the specified group and, for members
                that are groups, the command also shows their members; then
                recursion stops.

                Without the -r option, only the members of the specified
                group are shown.

      -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]
      group-entry-name
                Indicates the name of the target group.  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 group command shows the members of a group in the name
      service database.  The entry name of the group is required.  Unless it
      is limited to a specific member (by the -m option), the show group
      command shows all members.  The command shows only the members in the
      specified group; the -r option enables you to show members of nested
      groups.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target group
      entry).  If you use the -r option, you also need read permission to
      any nested groups.

 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 example shows all the members of the group
      /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group, in the order in which they were added
      to the group:

       rpccp
      pccp> show group   /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group

      The following command operates from the system prompt to show a
      specific member of the group /.:/LandS/dept/Calendar_group:

       rpccp show group   \
       -m /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2  \
       /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
