Displaying the Binding

fnlookup displays the binding of the given composite name.

fnlookup [-v][-L] composite_name

Table 24-2 fnlookup Command Options


Option	Description
`-v`	Displays the binding in more detail
`-L`	Displays the reference to which the XFN link is bound

For example, to show the binding for the user darwin in detail, you would enter:

# fnlookup -v user/darwin/
Reference type: onc_fn_user
Address type: onc_fn_nisplus
 length: 52
 context type: user
 representation: normal
 version: 0
 internal name: fns_user_darwin.ctx_dir.sales.doc.com.

Suppose user/Charles.Darwin is linked to user/darwin. The first command in the following example shows what user/Charles.Darwin is bound to (an XFN link). The second command follows the XFN link, user/darwin, and shows what user/darwin is bound to (the user context).

# fnlookup user/Charles.Darwin
Reference type: fn_link_ref
Address type: fn_link_addr
 Link name: user/darwin
# fnlookup -L user/Charles.Darwin
Reference type: onc_fn_user
Address type: onc_fn_nisplus
 context type: user
