getnode(8)						      System Manager's Manual							getnode(8)

Name
       getnode - display one or more entries from the nodes database

Syntax
       /etc/getnode [ node...  ]

Description
       For  each  given  node argument, displays the corresponding node entry (or entries) from the nodes database.  The nodes database is the one
       used by DECnet.	If you do not specify any node argument(s), all of the entries in the nodes database are displayed.

       The node is either the node address or the node name for each node entry that you want to display.  (Note that you can  specify	more  than
       one node argument in a single command.)

       A node address is a decimal integer in the range of 1 to 1023 for single area networks, or has the format a.n for multiarea networks, where
       a is the network area number (a decimal integer in the range of 2 to 63) and n is the node number (a decimal integer in the range of  1	to
       1023).

       A node name can be from 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters, including at least 1 alphabetic character.

Examples
       # /etc/getnode 44.70 mynode <RET>
       This command displays the entries in the nodes database for nodes 44.70 and mynode.
       # /etc/getnode <RET>
       This command displays all of the entries in the nodes database.
       # /etc/getnode lttwi <RET>
       This command displays the entry in the nodes database for node lttwi.
