list_child
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
