SYNOPSIS

     dsmemberutil [-v] [-h] command [options]

DESCRIPTION

     dsmemberutil is a program that implements the membership API calls in a command line utility.

FLAGS

     A list of flags and their descriptions:

     -h      Lists the options for calling dsmemberutil

     -v      Causes dsmemberutil to operate in verbose mode.

COMMANDS

     The action of each command is described below:

     getuuid -ugUGsS value
		 Takes any of the options and returns the associated UUID.

     getid -UGsSX value
		 Takes any of the options and returns the associated UID or GID depending on option provided.

     getsid -ugUGX value
		 Takes any of the options and returns the associated SID.

     checkmembership -uUxs param -gGXS param
		 Returns if a user or group with the associated option is a member of the group.

     flushcache  Flushes the current membership cache.

     Legacy commands such as dumpstate and statistics are gone. See odutil(1) for show cache and statistics operations.

     A list of options available. In some cases -xX and -sS can be used synonymously due to nature of the value.

     -u uid	      Using user with UID

     -U name	      Using user with name

     -s sid	      Using user with SID

     -x uuid	      Using user with UUID

     -g gid	      Using group with GID
