  NAME

    nsquery - Runs Remote File Sharing name server query

  SYNOPSIS

    nsquery [-h] [name]

  FLAGS

    -h   Do not display the header.

  DESCRIPTION

    The nsquery command 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 flags, nsquery identifies all resources in the domain
    that have been advertised as available for sharing.  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 dot (.), the name will be
    interpreted as a nodename within the local domain.  If the name ends with
    the delimiter dot, the name 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.

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

  EXAMPLES

    This example will list the resources available from the domain graph,
    nodename fee:

    nsquery graph.fee
