XNSTATUS(C)                                    UNIX System V



     Name
          xnstatus - Get information about the network adapter.


     Syntax
          xnstatus [-n adaptername] [-a [networkname] | -s]


     Description
          The xnstatus command allows the  Client  Software  Developer
          to  get  status directly from the network adapter and return
          information concerning adapter  conditions.   Much  of  this
          information  is  not  relevant  to the typical  Client user.
          This utility is recommended for use  in  developing  network
          applications  to  check  for erroneous information.  Further
          information on NCB error messages is available in the User's
          Guide.


     Options
          Three options are available:

          -n name   Returns  information  on  the  specified
                    netBIOS  adapter.   This  option  should
                    only be used when more than one  adapter
                    is  installed.   If  an  invalid name is
                    given,  a  list  of   valid   names   is
                    displayed as output.  This option is not
                    currently available.

          -s        Returns session status  information  for
                    the local adapter.

          -a name   Returns adapter status  information  for
                    the  network  adapter  that  is known by
                    this name.  If  no  name  is  specified,
                    status  is  returned  for all registered
                    names on the local adapter.

          If no flags are specified, then  both  session  and  adapter
          status are returned for name.
