NAME
nisls — list the contents of an NIS+ directory
SYNOPSIS
nisls
[
-dglLmMR
] [
name...
]
DESCRIPTION
For each
name
that is an
NIS+
directory,
nisls
lists the contents of the directory.
For each
name
that is an
NIS+
object other than a directory,
nisls
simply echos the name.
If no
name
is specified, the first directory in the search path (see
nisdefaults(1))
is listed.
Options
- -d
Treat
NIS+
directories like other
NIS+
objects, rather than listing their contents.
- -g
Display group owner instead of owner when listing in long format.
- -l
List in long format.
This option displays additional information about
the objects such as their type, creation time, owner, and access rights.
The access rights are listed in the following order in long mode:
nobody, owner, group owner, and world.
- -L
This option specifies that links are to be followed. If
name
actually points to a link, it is followed to the linked object.
- -m
Display modification time instead of creation time when listing in long
format.
- -M
Master only. This specifies that information is to be returned from
the master server of the named object. This guarantees that the most up-to-date
information is seen at the possible expense that the master server may be
busy.
- -R
List directories recursively.
This option will reiterate the list for
each subdirectory found in the process of listing each
name.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
- NIS_PATH
If this variable is set and the
NIS+
name is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be
searched until the object is found (see
nisdefaults(1)).
RETURN VALUE
nisls
returns
0
on success and
1
on failure.
