10.1;lty (list_types), revision 1.0, 88/07/02
lty (list_types) - list installed types.
usage: lty [-n node_spec] [-u] [-glob | -priv] [-t] [type_name]



DESCRIPTION
     lty lists the types currently installed on a volume. It can also be used
     to list the contents of internal caches for debugging purposes.

     type_name (optional)
                  Display information about the specified types. You can use
                  one or more names, and get information about that list of
                  names only. You may not mix type and trait names in the
                  list. If it's a list of trait names, you must also use the
                  the -t option. If you specify type or trait names, you may
                  also use the -u, -n, and other options.

OPTIONS
     If no options are specified, lty lists types installed on the boot
     volume.

     -n node_spec Specify the node whose type names are to be listed.  Type
                  help node_spec for details about node specification syntax.
                  You may also specify the entry directory of a volume mounted
                  for software installation, as shown in the example below.

     -u           Display type UIDs as well as type names.

     -glob        Display contents of global type name cache instead of the
                  type file (for debugging only).

     -priv        Display the contents of the private (per-user) type name
                  cache instead of the type file (for debugging only).

     -t[rait]     Display the list of named traits, instead of the list of
                  types.

EXAMPLES
     $ lty
     Local type file

     area   bitmap  boot   casehm  ddf   evetype  hdru     ipad
     lheap  mbx     mt     nil     null  obj      objlib   pad
     pipe   rec     sch    sio     uasc  und


     $ lty -u -trait
     Local trait list

            uid         name

     26D05884.40003166  io
     2717AFC4.B0003166  io_oc
     26D058C3.70003166  io_xoc
     278096FD.20002ACB  ios_dir

     4 entries listed.

     In the following example, the disk has been mounted for software
     installation. The disk's top level directory (cataloged as /mounted_disk
     by the mtvol command) must contain a sys directory. If it does not, you
     get a "types file not found" error.


     $ mtvol w /mounted_disk
     $ lty -n /mounted_disk
     Type file for "//my_node/mounted_disk"

     area   bitmap  boot  casehm  ddf   evetype  hdru    ipad
     lheap  mbx     mt    nil     null  obj      objlib  pad
     pipe   rec     sch   sio     uasc  und
