add object(1m) add object(1m)
NAME
add object - Adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry
SYNOPSIS
cdscp add object object-name attribute-name = attribute-value
ARGUMENTS
The full name of the object entry. The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file
for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. The value of a particular attribute. The value of an
application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.
DESCRIPTION
The add object command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry.
If the attribute does not exist, this command creates it. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the DCE
Administration Guide for more information about attributes.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission to the object entry.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
To add the value ps to the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/subsys/deskprinter, read the cds_attributes file to verify that
the attribute shown in the following display exists:
OID LABEL SYNTAX
1.3.22.1.3.70 printcap char
Enter the following command to assign the value ps to the attribute printcap: cdscp> add object /.:/subsys/deskprinter printcap = ps
