To list the contents of a directory in the default short format, use one or more of the options listed below and a directory name. If you don't supply a directory name, NIS+ will use the default directory.
| nisls [-dLMR] directory-name | 
or
| nisls [-dLMR] | 
For example, this instance of nisls is entered from the root master server of the root domain doc.com.:
| rootmaster% nisls doc.com.: org_dir groups_dir | 
Here is another example entered from the root master server:
| rootmaster% nisls -R sales.doc.com. sales.doc.com.: org_dir groups_dir groups_dir.sales.doc.com.: admin org_dir.sales.doc.com.: auto_master auto_home bootparams cred . |
