NAME

name-client - CORBA Name Server client

SYNOPSIS

name-client [ root | --stdin | --gnome ] [ bind | rebind | bind_context
       | rebind_context ] name object-id
name-client [ root  |  --stdin  |  --gnome  ]  [  resolve  |  unbind
       bind_new_context | list | destroy ] name
name-client [ root | --stdin | --gnome ] [ new_context ]

DESCRIPTION

name-client is a command-line client to CORBA Name Servers. There are different commands available for viewing, resolving, and creating name bindings.

The root argument to name-client denotes the IOR of the root naming context. Instead of an IOR either --stdin or --gnome may be specified. The former causes name-client to read the IOR from stdin. The latter causes it to use the GNOME name server.

The components of name are delimited delimited by '/'. The id and kind of these components are delimited by '.'. object-id is the IOR of an object.

COMMANDS

new_context: Creates a new naming context and prints its IOR.
bind_new_context: Creates a new naming context and binds it to name. The IOR of the new context is printed.
list Lists all bound names in the naming context name.
bind Binds name to object-id. If name is already bound an error is: issued.
rebind Like bind but rebinds name to object-id even if name was already: bound.
bind_context: Binds name to the context denoted by object-id.
rebind_context: Like bind_context but rebinds name to the context denoted by context-id even if name was already bound.
unbind Removes the binding of name.
destroy
