nisls Command
Purpose
Lists the contents of an NIS+ directory.
Syntax
nisls [ -d ]
[ -g ]
[ -l ]
[ -L ]
[ -m ]
[ -M ]
[ -R ]
[ Directory... ]
Description
The nisls command writes to standard output the contents of each
directory specified in the parameter that is an NIS+ directory. If
Directory specifies any other NIS+ object that is not a
directory, nisls simply echoes the object's name. If no directory is
given as a parameter, the first directory in the search path, the default, is
listed (see nisdefaults).
Flags
-d |
Treats an NIS+ directory like other NIS+ objects
instead of listing its contents. |
-g |
Displays group owner instead of owner when using the -l flag to list
in long format. |
-l |
Lists in long format. The -l flag displays additional information
about the Directory such as its type, creation time, owner, and
permission rights. |
-L |
Indicates that links are to be followed. If Directory actually
points to a link, it is followed to a link object. |
-m |
Displays modification time instead of creation time when using the
-l flag to list contents in long format. |
-M |
Specifies that the master server of the named directory returns the
standard output of the nisls command. Using the -M flag
guarantees that the most current information is listed. |
-R |
Lists directories recursively. The -R flag displays the contents of
each subdirectory contained in the directory specified in Directory. |
Environment
NIS_PATH |
Searches each directory specified until the object is found if the
NIS+ directory name is not fully qualified
(see nisdefaults). |
Exit Status
0 |
Successful completion. |
1 |
An error occurred. |
Examples
