list_link

list link(1m)															     list link(1m)

NAME

       list link - Displays a list of all the soft links whose names match the link name that you specify

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp list link link-name [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of  a specific soft link.  The last simple name can contain wildcard characters.  The name of a particular attribute.  The
       value of a particular attribute.

DESCRIPTION

       The list link command displays a list of all the soft links whose names match the link name that you specify.  The  last  simple  name  can
       contain	wildcard  characters.	You  can  use  a  with	attribute-name	=  attribute-value clause to limit output only to soft links whose
       attributes have values equal to the specified values.  A space must precede and follow the = (equals sign).  This command does not list the
       name of the directory, object entry, or other soft link to which the soft link points.

   Privilege Required
       You  must  have	read permission to the directory that stores the soft link.  If you use a with	attribute-name = attribute-value clause in
       the command, you also need read or test permission to the selected soft links.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       The following command displays a list of all the soft links whose names begin with the letter l in the directory  /.:/admin.   cdscp>  list
       link /.:/admin/l*

			       LIST
			   SOFTLINK   /.../abc.com/admin
