# nwbols(1)

List NetWare Bindery Objects

## NAME

nwbols - List NetWare Bindery Objects

## SYNOPSIS

**nwbols** \[ **-h** \] \[ **-S** *server* \] \[ **-U** *user name* \] \[ **-P** *password* \| **-n** \] \[ **-C** \] \[ **-t** *type* \] \[ **-o** *pattern* \] \[ **-v** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**nwbols** lists the specified NetWare Bindery Objects visible for the user.

**nwbols** looks up the file *$HOME/.nwclient* to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See [nwclient(5)](/nwclient/5.md) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  **-h** is used to print out a short help text.

- **-S** *server*

  **server** is the name of the server you want to use.

- **-U** *user*

  **user** is the user name to use for login.

- **-P** *password*

  **password** is the password to use for login. If neither **-n** nor **-P** are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbols prompts for a password.

- **-n**

  **-n** should be given if no password is required for the login.

- **-C**

  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by **-C.**

- **-t** *type*

  You can restrict the objects listed by specifying the type of the objects to be listed.  *type* must be given as a decimal number.

- **-o** *pattern*

  Specifying a pattern is another way to restrict the objects listed. Please note that this pattern is evaluated by the NetWare server. grep would be a better candidate for complex patterns.

- **-v**

  By default, the object's name, its ID and its type are listed by **nwbols.** In the verbose mode, activated by **-v,** the object flags, its security byte and the properties flag is also listed.
