fnlookup(1)




NAME

     fnlookup - display the reference bound to an FNS name


SYNOPSIS

     fnlookup [-ALv] composite_name


DESCRIPTION

     fnlookup displays the binding of composite_name.


OPTIONS

     -A    Consult the authoritative source for information.

     -L    If the composite name is bound to an XFN link, display
           the reference that the link is bound to. Without the
            -L option,  fnlookup displays the XFN link.

     -v    Display the binding in  detail.  For  onc_fn_*  refer-
           ences, this option is useful to derive the name of the
           NIS+   table   that   stores   the    reference    for
           composite_name  and  a  string  representation  of the
           reference, if applicable.


OPERANDS

     The following operand is supported:

     composite_name
           An FNS named object.


EXAMPLES

     Example 1: Examples of the fnlookup command.

     In the following example, the command

     eg% fnlookup user/jsmith/service/calendar

     shows    the     reference     to     which     the     name
     user/jsmith/service/calendar, that refers to the calendar of
     user jsmith, is bound.

     In the next example, the command

     eg% fnlookup user/jsmith/service

     shows the reference to which the  name  user/jsmith/service,
     that refers to the service context of user jsmith, is bound.
     If this is bound to an XFN link, then

     eg% fnlookup -L user/jsmith/service

     displays the reference to which this link is bound.
