NAME

add object - Adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute of an object entry

SYNOPSIS

cdscp add object object-name attribute-name = attribute-value

ARGUMENTS

object-nameThe full name of the object entry. 

attribute-name
The name of a particular attribute.  Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. 

= attribute-value
The value of a particular attribute.  The value of an application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.

DESCRIPTION

The add object command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry.  If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it.  Usually, this task is performed through the client application.  See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information about attributes. 

Privileges Required

You must have w (write) permission to the object entry. 

NOTES

This command is replaced at DCE Version 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. 

EXAMPLES

To add the value ps to the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/subsys/deskprinter, read the cds_attributes file to verify that the attribute exists, as shown in the following:

    OID          LABEL          SYNTAX
1.3.22.1.3.70   printcap        char

Then enter the following command to assign the value ps to the attribute printcap:

cdscp> add object /.:/subsys/deskprinter printcap = ps
