To list the contents of a directory in the verbose format, use the -l option and one or more of the options listed below. The -g and -m options modify the attributes that are displayed. If you don't supply a directory name, NIS+ will use the default directory.
| nisls -l [-gm] [-dLMR] directory-name | 
or
| nisls -l [-gm] [-dLMR] | 
Here is an example, entered from the master server of the root domain doc.com.:
| rootmaster% nisls -l doc.com. D r---rmcdr---r--- rootmaster.doc.com. date org_dir D r---rmcdr---r--- rootmaster.doc.com. date groups_dir |
