# hpiinv(1)

An openhpi sample application that shows resources' inventory records.

## NAME

hpiinv - An openhpi sample application that shows resources' inventory records.

## SYNOPSIS

```
 hpiinv [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] [-V] [ -X] [-a tag] [-h]
 hpiinv [--domain=nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file] [--verbose] [--debug] [--asset-tag=tag] [--help]
```

## DESCRIPTION

hpiinv walks the RPT (Resource Present Table) looking for resources that have Inventory Capability.  It displays all inventory records found.

If no domain is selected, hpiinv uses a session with the default domain. The selected domain id must be configured via the openhpidclient.conf file specified in the environment.

  Use passed file as client configuration file. This option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT\_CONF environment variable.
