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
