nidomain - NetInfo domain utility
SYNOPSIS
nidomain
-l [ hostname ]
nidomain
-m tag
nidomain
-d tag
nidomain
-c tag master/remotetag
DESCRIPTION
The
nidomain
utility
is an interface to nibindd(8),
to which it sends all of its requests
about the domains served on a given machine.
It also can be used to create and destroy NetInfo databases.
The
nidomain
utility
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 NetInfo Manager application
for setting up multilevel hierarchies.
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
associated 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".
