DESCRIPTION
niutil
lets you to do arbitrary reads and writes on the given NetInfo
domain.
In order to perform writes,
niutil
must be run as root on the NetInfo master for the database, unless the
-p
option is given.
The directory specified by
path
is separated by "/"s, similar to UNIX. The property
names may be given in the path using a "=", but will default to the
property name "name". For example, the following refers to a user with the
user ID 3.
"/name=users/uid=3"
The following shorter form would also be sufficient:
"/users/uid=3"
You may specify a numeric ID for the directory instead of the string path.
OPTIONS
- -t
-
Interpret the domain as a tagged domain. For example, "parrish/network"
refers to the database tagged "network" on the machine "parrish". You
may supply an IP address instead of a machine name.
- -p
-
Prompt for the root password of the given domain so that one can run
from other locations in the network besides the master.
- -createprop domain path propkey [ propval ... ]
-
Create a new property in the directory
path.
propkey
refers to the name of the property;
0 or more property values may be specified. If the named property already
exists, it's overwritten.
- -destroyprop domain path propkey
-
Destroy the property with name
propkey
in the given path.
- -list domain path
-
