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

NAME

       add directory - Adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp add directory directory-name attribute-name = attribute-value

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of the directory.  The name of a particular attribute.	Specify only one attribute at a time.  See the cds_attributes file
       for the list of attributes that your application uses.  attribute-value The value of a particular attribute.  The value of an  application-
       defined	attribute  is  dependent  on the type of attribute.  See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes and corresponding data
       types that your application uses.  If you enter a byte data type, you must enter an even number of digits in length.  You  can  only  enter
       pairs of hexadecimal values for user-defined attributes.

DESCRIPTION

       The add directory command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory.	If
       the attribute does not exist, this command creates it.  Usually, this task is performed through the client application.	See the DCE Admin-
       istration Guide for more information about attributes.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the directory.

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 ontario to the attribute myname of a directory named /.:/sales, read the cds_attributes file to verify that the attribute
       shown in the following display exists:

		 OID	     LABEL	     SYNTAX
	     1.3.22.1.3.91   myname	     char

       Enter the following command to assign the value ontario to the attribute myname: cdscp> add directory /.:/sales myname = ontario
