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.
