# nsadmin(1)

MICO naming service administration tool

## NAME

nsadmin - MICO naming service administration tool

## SYNOPSIS

**nsadmin** **\[command ...\]**\

## DESCRIPTION

**nsadmin** provides a user interface to the COS naming service. If invoked with no command line options (except ORB specific ones, such as **-ORBNamingAddr**) it will enter interactive mode, show a prompt and wait for user input. Otherwise the command line arguments are evaluated as a command. Below is a short description of the supported commands. Context or binding names follow the syntax of Unix file names: slashes are used to separate context names; names starting with a slash are relative to the root, everything else is relative to the current context; .. stands for the parent context.

## OPTIONS

- **help**

  Gives an overview of all supported commands.

- **pwd**

  Prints the path of the current naming context.

- **ls \<binding-or-context\>**

  If **\<binding-or-context\>** is a binding this will show the associated stringified IOR. If  **\<binding-or-context\>** is a context then this will show the contents of it. If  **\<binding-or-context\>** is omitted the contents of the current naming context are shown.

- **cd \<context\>**

  Make **\<context\>** the current naming context.

- **mkdir \<context\>**

  Create a new context.

- **bind \<binding\> \<stringified-IOR\>**

  Bind **\<binding\>** to **\<stringified-IOR\>**.

- **rm \<binding-or-context\>**

  Delete the given binding or context. If the specified argument is a context then all its subcontexts will be removed, too.

- **exit**

  Quit **nsadmin**.
