nislog(1M)
NAME
nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory...]
DESCRIPTION
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction
log on the standard output. This command can be used to
track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file
contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server.
When updates occur, they are logged to this file and then
propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the log is
checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the
replicas are removed.
The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by
superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only.
If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched.
Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the
specified directories are displayed.
OPTIONS
-h num
Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log.
If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is
displayed.
-t num
Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the
log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log
header is displayed.
-v Verbose mode.
