The DECNET_LOC_REGISTER utility provides system managers with functions
to help manage node names in the DECdns local namespace.
These functions aid in:
- Creating an initial local name file containing node information to be
loaded into the DECdns local namespace.
- Recreating the local name file from the names that are currently
loaded in the DECdns local namespace.
- Getting the full tower sets for node definitions that have only simple
addresses defined, by directly querying the indicated nodes.
- Loading the information contained in the local name file into the
DECdns local namespace, using default tower sets when the real tower
set information is not available.
- Using the information contained in the local name file to register nodes
into a DECdns distributed namespace.
- Clearing all names from the DECdns local namespace when its use is no
longer necessary.
Use the HELP command to obtain information on the functions provided by this
utility.
