NAME

show object - Displays attribute information about the specified object entry

SYNOPSIS

cdscp show object object-name [attribute-name] [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

object-nameThe full name of a specific object entry.  The last simple name can contain wildcard characters. 

attribute-name
The name of a particular attribute; see Description for valid attribute names.

attribute-value
The value of a particular attribute.

DESCRIPTION

The show object command displays the names and values of the attributes specified in attribute-name.  You can use a combination of attributes in a single command. Use a space to separate multiple attributes.  You can use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause to limit output only to object entries whose attributes have values equal to the specified values. If you do not supply any attributes, the command displays all attributes and their values.  In addition to the following attributes, any application-defined attributes that might exist will be included in the output of this command.  The following is a description of object entry attributes:

CDS_ClassSpecifies the class to which an object belongs. 

CDS_ClassVersion
Contains the version number of the object’s class.  This allows applications to build in compatibility with entries created by earlier versions.

CDS_CTSSpecifies the creation timestamp (CTS) of this object entry. 

CDS_ObjectUUID
Specifies a unique identifier for the object being referenced.

CDS_UTSSpecifies the timestamp of the most recent update to an attribute of the object entry. 

Privilege Required

You must have read permission to the object entry.  If you specify a wildcard object entry name, you also need read permission to the directory that stores the object entry. 

NOTE

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

EXAMPLE

The following command lists all the attributes and their values of the object entry /.:/sales/east/floor1cp. 

cdscp> show object /.:/sales/east/floor1cp

                      OBJECT   /.../abc.com/sales/floor1cp
