NAME

fnbind– Bind a reference to an FNS name

SYNOPSIS

fnbind [-s] [-v] [-L] name new_name
fnbind -r [-s] [-v] new_name [-O| -U] ref_type {[-O| -U]addr_type [-c| -x]addr_contents}…

DESCRIPTION

The fnbind utility binds the reference named by name to the name new_name. The second synopsis of fnbind (uses the -r option) allows the binding of new_name to the reference constructed using arguments supplied in the command line.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-s

Bind to new_name even if it is already bound. If this option is omitted, fnbind fails if new_name is already bound.

-v

Display the reference being bound to new_name.

-L

Create an XFN link using name and bind it to new_name.

-r

Create a reference using ref_type as the reference's type, and one or more pairs of addr_type and addr_contents as the reference's list of addresses, and bind this reference to new_name. Unless the -O or -U options are used, FN_ID_STRING is used as the identifier format for ref_type and addr_type. Unless the -c or -x options are used, addr_contents is stored as an XDR-encoded string.

-c

Store addr_contents in the given form; do not use XDR-encoding.

-x

addr_contents specifies a hexadecimal string. Convert it to its hexidecimal representation and store it; do not use XDR-encoding.

-O

The identifier format is FN_ID_ISO_OID_STRING, an ASN.1 dot-separated integer list string.

-U

The identifier format is FN_ID_DCE_UUID, a DCE UUID in string form.

EXAMPLES

---

Example 1 Binding a service to a printer




The command

example% fnbind -s thisorgunit/service/printer thisorgunit/service/pr

binds the name thisorgunit/service/pr to the reference named by thisorgunit/service/printer. Any reference bound to thisorgunit/service/pr is overwritten.

---

---

Example 2 Binding to an XFN link




The command

example% fnbind -L thisorgunit/service/printer thisorgunit/service/pr

binds the name thisorgunit/service/pr to the XFN link constructed using the name thisorgunit/service/printer .

---

---

Example 3 Binding to an address type




The command

example% fnbind -r thisorgunit/service/calendar SUNW_cal \ SUNW_cal_deskset_onc staff@exodus

binds the name thisorgunit/service/calendar to the reference with reference type SUNW_cal and address type SUNW_cal_deskset_onc, and address contents of staff@exodus.
