NAME

       libAF - Provides Attribute File Library functions to manipulate file attributes

LIBRARY

       Attribute File Library (libAF.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <AFdefs.h>
       void AFclose(	  AFILE_t af);
       ATTR_t AFgetatr(      ENT_t entry,      char *name);
       ENT_t AFgetent(	    AFILE_t af,      char *name);
       ENT_t AFgetent(	    AFILE_t af,      char *name);
       char *AFgetval(	    ATTR_t attr);
       ATTR_t AFnxtatr(      ENT_t entry);
       ENT_t AFnxtent(	    AFILE_t af);
       char *AFnxtval(	    ATTR_t attr);
       AFILE_t AFopen(	    char *filename,	 int maxrecsiz,      int maxnumatr);
       int AFread(	af);
       void AFrewind(	   AFILE_t af);
       void AFsetdflt(	    AFILE_t af,      char *dflt);

PARAMETERS

       Specifies  the  attribute file to be closed.  Specifies the entry name.	Specifies the name of an attribute value.  Specifies the attribute
       value in the attribute list.  Specifies the attribute filename.	Specifies the maximum size of a record in bytes.   Specifies  the  maximum
       number of attributes per record.  Points to the character name string of an attribute file structure.

DESCRIPTION

       The  libAF  functions  are  provided  for  programs  that use attribute files.  These functions perform the following: Closes the specified
       attribute file.	Gets the attribute value matching name from the attribute list.  Returns a pointer entry to the value of name.	Finds  the
       first  entry  in  an attribute file which has the specified name.  Returns a pointer af to an attribute structure.  Gets the next attribute
       value from the attribute list for the specified attribute value.  Returns a pointer attr to the character string of the first value in  the
       attribute  list.   Gets	the next attribute from the entry list for the attribute file entry.  Returns a pointer to an attribute structure.
       Gets the next entry from an attribute file.  Merges in any default entry that proceeds it.  Returns a pointer to  an  attribute	structure.
       Gets  the  next	attribute  value  from	the  attribute	list for the current attribute.  Returns a pointer to the next string value in the
       attribute list.	Opens the specified attribute file.  Returns a pointer to an attribute file structure.	 Reads	the  next  entry  from	an
       attribute  file.   Fills  in  the  current  attribute  table and buffer.  Moves to the beginning of the specified attribute file.  Sets the
       default entry name for the specified attribute file.

NAME

       show object - Displays attribute information about the specified object entry

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp show object object-name [attribute-name] [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name of a specific object entry.  The last simple name can contain wildcard characters.  The name of a particular attribute; see
       Description for valid attribute names.  The value of a particular attribute.

DESCRIPTION

       The show object command displays the names and values of the attributes	specified  in  attribute-name.	 You  can  use	a  combination	of
       attributes in a single command. Use a space to separate multiple attributes.  You can use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause to
       limit output only to object entries whose attributes have values equal to the specified values. If you do not supply  any  attributes,  the
       command	displays  all attributes and their values.  In addition to the following attributes, any application-defined attributes that might
       exist will be included in the output of this command.  The following is a description of object entry attributes: Specifies  the  class	to
       which  an  object  belongs.   Contains  the  version number of the object's class.  This allows applications to build in compatibility with
       entries created by earlier versions.  Specifies the creation timestamp (CTS) of this object entry.  Specifies a unique identifier  for  the
       object being referenced.  Specifies the timestamp of the most recent update to an attribute of the object entry.

   Privilege Required
       You  must  have	read  permission  to  the object entry.  If you specify a wildcard object entry name, you also need read permission to the
       directory that stores 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

       The following command lists all the attributes  and  their  values  of  the  object  entry  /.:/sales/east/floor1cp.   cdscp>  show  object
       /.:/sales/east/floor1cp

			       SHOW
			     OBJECT   /.../abc.com/sales/floor1cp
				 AT   1991-10-15-15:53:07
			    CDS_CTS = 1991-10-15-19:53:03.00000003/08-00-2b-1c-8f-1f
			    CDS_UTS = 1991-10-15-19:53:03.00000006/08-00-2b-1c-8f-1f
