NAME

nsquery − Remote File Sharing name server query

SYNOPSIS

nsquery [−h] [name]

DESCRIPTION

nsquery provides information about resources available to the host from both the local domain and from other domains.  All resources are reported, regardless of whether the host is authorized to access them.  When used with no options, nsquery identifies all resources in the domain that have been advertised as sharable.  A report on selected resources can be obtained by specifying name, where name is:

nodenameThe report will include only those resources available from nodename. 

domain.The report will include only those resources available from domain. 

domain.nodenameThe report will include only those resources available from domain.nodename. 

When the name does not include the delimiter ".", it will be interpreted as a nodename within the local domain.  If the name ends with a delimiter ".", it will be interpreted as a domain name. 

The information contained in the report on each resource includes its advertised name (domain.resource), the read/write permissions, the server (nodename.domain) that advertised the resource, and a brief textual description. 

When −h is used, the header is not printed. 

A remote domain must be listed in your rfmaster file in order to query that domain. 

EXIT STATUS

If no entries are found when nsquery is executed, the report header is printed. 

SEE ALSO

NOTES

If your host cannot contact the domain name server, an error message will be sent to standard error.
