The syntax of fnbind for binding existing names to new names is:
fnbind [-s][-v][-L] oldname newname |
Option |
Description |
---|---|
oldname |
The existing composite name |
newname |
The new name to which you are binding the old name |
-s |
Supersedes any existing binding of the original composite name |
-v |
Prints out the reference used for the binding |
-L |
Creates an XFN link using name and binding it to new_name |
For example, to bind the name user/julio/service/printer to the reference of myorgunit/service/printer you would enter:
# fnbind myorgunit/service/printer user/julio/service/printer |
If the given newname is already bound, fnbind -s must be used or the operation will fail. In the above example, if user/julio/service/printer is already bound, the -s option must be used to overwrite the existing binding with that of myorgunit/service/printer as shown below:
# fnbind -s myorgunit/service/printer user/julio/service/printer |
The -v option prints out the reference used for the binding.
# fnbind -v myorgunit/service/printer user/julio/service/printer Reference type: onc_printers Address type: onc_fn_printer_nisplus |
The following command constructs an XFN link out of user/jjones and binds it to the name user/James.Jones:
# fnbind -L user/jjones user/James.Jones |
Similarly, to create a link from user/julio/service/printer to myorgunit/service/printer you would enter:
# fnbind -sL myorgunit/service/printer user/julio/service/printer |
