nwcx -- view and change NDS context/view NDS tree structure

Synopsis

nwcx [-a] [-c] [-cont] [-r] [-t] [context] [-ver] [-?]

Description

Use nwcx to view or change the NetWare® Directory Services (NDS) context for your current NetWare connection, and to view containers and leaf objects in the current NDS tree structure.

Used with no parameters or options, nwcx displays the current context.

Options

The parameters and options are:

-a
Include all objects at or below the context. Use with -t or -cont.

-c
Scroll continuously through output.

-cont
List containers at the current context or a specified context in a vertical list with no structure.

-r
List containers at the root of the current NDS tree, or change context in relation to the root.

-t
List containers below the current context or a specified context in a tree structure.

context
Move to a new context or specify the context you want for an option.

-?
View command-line help for nwcx. Any other parameters or options are ignored.

-ver
Print nwcx version information.
The nwcx command allows you to change NDS contexts and view all NDS objects defined below a given container. It is analogous to the cd(1) and ls(1) commands which allow you to change UnixWare filesystem directories and view the files within them.

Usage

To set your new context from the root, you can: place a period in front of the new context you type; enter the proper number of trailing periods to reach the root level; or, use the -r option.

nwcx does not recognize spaces in object names. If you have spaces in container names, put quotation marks around the names or use underscores (_) in place of the spaces. For example, for container CORPORATE ADMIN, you can type ``Corporate Admin'' or ``Corporate_Admin''.

Examples

To display the current context:

nwcx

To back up one level in the directory tree:

nwcx .

From PRV.CORP, to go down two levels to make your context SYS.ENG.PRV.CORP:

nwcx SYS.ENG

To change your current context from TEST.PRV.CORP.US to SYS.MKTG.PROVO.CORP.US:

nwcx .SYS.MKTG.PRV.CORP.US

To change to the root directory when your context is TEST.PRV.CORP, use either of:

nwcx ...

nwcx -r

To change complete context from TEST.PRV.CORP to TEST.PARIS.CORP:

nwcx .TEST.PARIS.CORP

To show all containers in the current context:

nwcx -cont
