list child(1m)															    list child(1m)

NAME

       list child - Displays a list of all the child pointers whose names match the specified child name

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The list child command displays a list of all the child pointers whose names match the specified child name.  The last simple name can con-
       tain  wildcard  characters.   You  can  use  a  with  attribute-name  = attribute-value clause to limit output only to child pointers whose
       attributes have values equal to the specified values.  A space must precede and follow the = (equals sign).

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

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 child pointers named in the /.:/sales directory:

       cdscp> list child /.:/sales/*

			       LIST
			      CHILD   /.../abc.com/sales
