 Specifies the object or objects to be listed.  It can be a CDO
 directory, a CDO definition, or a logical name.

Additional information available:

/BEFORE/BRIEF/FULL/SINCE/TYPE

 Selects only those objects dated before the specified time.

 You can omit the time specification, or you can specify an absolute
 time, a combination of absolute and delta times, or one of the keywords
 TODAY, TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY.  See the VAX/VMS DCL Concepts Manual for
 more information on specifying times.

 If you do not specify the /BEFORE qualifier, all objects are listed.
 If you specify /BEFORE without a time specification, /BEFORE=TODAY is
 assumed.

 Displays the object names and their protocol types.  This is the
 default display.

 Displays the name, protocol type, owner, and access control information
 (protection) for each dictionary object.  The /FULL option also
 displays the dictionary type and the approximate size of each
 dictionary object.

 Selects only those objects dated at and after the specified time.

 You can omit the time specification, or you can specify an absolute
 time, a combination of absolute and delta times, or one of the keywords
 TODAY or YESTERDAY.  See the VAX/VMS DCL Concepts Manual for more
 information on specifying times.

 If you do not specify the /SINCE qualifier, all objects are listed.  If
 you specify /SINCE without a time specification, /SINCE=TODAY is
 assumed.

 Selects only objects of the specified protocol or protocols.  You
 cannot use wildcard characters in the protocol-name.

 If you do not have read access to all the objects in a directory, CDO
 only displays the names of those objects to which you have read access.

 The following command displays all objects (by name and protocol only)
 cataloged in the current default directory.
