nsquery(1M)           (Remote File Sharing Utilities)           nsquery(1M)


   NAME
         nsquery - Remote File Sharing name server query

   SYNOPSIS
         nsquery [-h] [name]

   DESCRIPTION
         nsquery provides information about resources available to the host
         from both the local domain and from other domains.  All resources are
         reported, regardless of whether the host is authorized to access
         them.  When used with no options, nsquery identifies all resources in
         the domain that have been advertised as sharable.  A report on
         selected resources can be obtained by specifying name, where name is:

         nodename         The report will include only those resources
                          available from nodename.

         domain.          The report will include only those resources
                          available from domain.

         domain.nodename  The report will include only those resources
                          available from domain.nodename.

         When the name does not include the delimiter ".", it will be
         interpreted as a nodename within the local domain. If the name ends
         with a delimiter ".", it will be interpreted as a domain name.

         The information contained in the report on each resource includes its
         advertised name (domain.resource), the read/write permissions, the
         server (nodename.domain) that advertised the resource, and a brief
         textual description.

         When -h is used, the header is not printed.

         A remote domain must be listed in your rfmaster file in order to
         query that domain.

   EXIT STATUS
         If no entries are found when nsquery is executed, the report header
         is printed.

   ERRORS
         If your host cannot contact the domain name server, an error message
         will be sent to standard error.
