HESINFO(1)                           General Commands Manual                           HESINFO(1)



NAME
       hesinfo - find out what is stored in the Hesiod database

SYNOPSIS
       hesinfo [-bl] HesiodName HesiodNameType

DESCRIPTION
       hesinfo  takes  two  arguments, a name to be resolved and a string, known as a HesiodName-
       Type.  It then prints the information returned by the Hesiod nameserver.

       The value returned by hesinfo is of the type HesiodNameType.

       hesinfo understands the following options:

       -l     Selects long format.

       -b     Prints the fully-qualified string passed to the nameserver.


   VALID Hesiod_Names
       The following types of identifiers may be used in  the  HesiodName  argument  to  hesinfo.
       These values will be resolved by accessing the hesiod database.


       <username>
              the  8-character-or-less  string  used  to identify users or classes (e.g. joeuser,
              root, 1.00, etc).  Used with the Hesiod_Name_Types passwd, pobox, and filsys.



       <uid>  the id number assigned to a user.


       <groupid>
              the id number assigned to a group.


       <groupname>
              a name identifying a unique group.

              the name of an athena file system.


       <rvd server>:<pack>
              the name of an rvd's server and pack  seperated by a colon.


       <nfs server>:<partition>

       <printer-cluster-name>

       <foo>  some hesinfo calls (e.g.  prclusterlist ) do  not  require  a  specific  HesiodName
              argument.  However, you must include a dummy string (e.g. 'foo') for hesinfo
               to work properly.
