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.

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