NAME

nidomain − NetInfo domain utility

SYNOPSIS

nidomain -l [ hostname ]

nidomain -m tag

nidomain -d tag

nidomain -c tag master/remotetag

DESCRIPTION

nidomain lets you find out information about the domains served on a given machine.  It also allows you to create and destroy NetInfo databases.  It is simply an interface to nibindd(8), to which it sends all of its requests. 

nidomain will allow one to create multiple levels of NetInfo hierarchy, but it is not a particularly easy way to do it. One should use the NetManager application for setting up two-level hierarchies by clicking the "Configuraton Server" checkbox. 

OPTIONS

-l [ hostname ]
List the domains by tag served on the given hostname.  If hostname is unspecified, the local host is used. 

-m tag
Create a new NetInfo database and server on the local machine for the domain tag of tag. 

-d tag
Destroy the local NetInfo database and server associate with the domain tagged tag.  If the database was associated with a clone, the machine’s "serves" property on the master is NOT modified to reflect the fact that the database has been deleted. 

-c tag master/remotetag
Creates a clone NetInfo database with the domain tagged tag.  The database is cloned from the machine master and remote tag remotetag.  The machine’s "serves" property should be set up prior to running this command to contain the entry "./tag".
