NAME
       nidomain - NetInfo domain utility

SYNOPSIS
       nidomain -l [ hostname ]

       nidomain -m tag

       nidomain -d tag

       nidomain -c tag master/remotetag

DESCRIPTION
       The  nidomain utility is an interface to nibindd(8), to which it sends all of its requests about the domains served on a given machine.	It
       also can be used to create and destroy NetInfo databases.

       The nidomain utility will allow one to create multiple levels of NetInfo hierarchy, but it is not a particularly easy way to  do  it.   One
       should use the NetInfo Manager application for setting up multilevel hierarchies.

OPTIONS
       -l [ hostname ]
	      List the domains by tag served on the given hostname.  If hostname is unspecified, the local host is used.

       -m tag Create a new NetInfo database and server on the local machine for the domain tag of tag.

       -d tag Destroy  the  local NetInfo database and server associated with the domain tagged tag.  If the database was associated with a clone,
	      the machine's ``serves'' property on the master is NOT modified to reflect the fact that the database has been deleted.

       -c tag master/remotetag
	      Creates a clone NetInfo database with the domain tagged tag.  The database is cloned from the machine master and remote tag  remote-
	      tag.  The machine's ``serves'' property should be set up prior to running this command to contain the entry "./tag".
