show group(1m) show group(1m)NAME
show group - Shows the members of a group
SYNOPSIS
rpccp show group group-entry-name [-m member] [-r [ integer]] [-s
syntax] [-u]
OPTIONS
Declares the name of a single group member. Indicates that the show
group operation recurses. If any members of a group are also groups,
their entries are shown. By default, the -r option causes the show
group operation to recurse until all nested groups are expanded; for
example, -r shows the members of the specified group and all nested
groups.
You can limit recursion to one or more levels by specifying a decimal
integer as part of the -r option. For example, -r 1 shows the members
of the specified group and, for members that are groups, the command
also shows their members; then recursion stops.
Without the -r option, only the members of the specified group are
shown. Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The
only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default
name syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, speci‐
fying the -s option is unnecessary. Updates the local CDS cache copy
of name service data (optional).
Name service data is cached locally on each machine in a cell. If an
rpccp inquiry can be satisfied by data in the local CDS cache, this
cached data is returned. Locally cached copies of name service data
might not include a recent CDS update, however. If the required data
is not available in the local CDS cache, rpccp goes to a CDS server(s)
to retrieve the required data. rpccp then updates the local CDS cache.
Using the -u option bypasses the local cache, allowing rpccp to go
directly to a CDS server for the inquiry. rpccp then updates the local
CDS cache.
ARGUMENTS
Indicates the name of the target group. For an entry in the local
cell, you can omit the cell name and specify only the cell-relative
name.
DESCRIPTION
The show group command shows the members of a group in the name service
database. The entry name of the group is required. Unless it is lim‐
ited to a specific member (by the -m option), the show group command
shows all members. The command shows only the members in the specified
group; the -r option enables you to show members of nested groups.
Privilege Required
You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target group
entry). If you use the -r option, you also need read permission to any
nested groups.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows all the members of the group
/.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group, in the order in which they were added
to the group: $ rpccp rpccp> show group /.:/LandS/anthro/Calen‐
dar_group The following command operates from the system prompt to show
a specific member of the group /.:/LandS/dept/Calendar_group: $ rpccp
show group \ > -m /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2 \ >
/.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
