NAME
nsquery - Remote File Sharing name server query
SYNOPSIS
nsquery [-h] [name]
DESCRIPTION
nsquery provides information about resources available to
the host from both the local domain and from other domains.
All resources are reported, regardless of whether the host
is authorized to access them. When used with no options,
nsquery identifies all resources in the domain that have
been advertised as sharable. A report on selected resources
can be obtained by specifying name, where name is:
nodename The report will include only those
resources available from nodename.
domain. The report will include only those
resources available from domain.
domain.nodename The report will include only those
resources available from domain.nodename.
When the name does not include the delim-
iter ".", it will be interpreted as a
nodename within the local domain. If the
name ends with a delimiter ".", it will be
interpreted as a domain name. The informa-
tion contained in the report on each
resource includes its advertised name
(domain.resource), the read/write permis-
sions, the server (nodename.domain) that
advertised the resource, and a brief tex-
tual description. When -h is used, the
header is not printed. A remote domain
must be listed in your rfmaster file in
order to query that domain.
EXIT STATUS
If no entries are found when nsquery is executed, the report
header is printed.

NOTES
If your host cannot contact the domain name server, an error
message will be sent to standard error.
