Show Function—Display Connection Data Entries
In netutil non-interactive mode, you can use the show function to display connection data entries. The connection information for the specified vnode is displayed on the terminal, or written to standard output (Windows and UNIX) or SYS$OUTPUT (VMS). The information is displayed in a format similar to the format of control file input lines, for ease of use in programs that edit and re-use the information. The password is not displayed.
This function has the following format:
show type connection vnode network_address protocol listen_address
type
Specifies the type of entry. Valid values are:
global
Indicates that the object is available to all users on the local node.
private
Indicates that the object is available to a single user.
vnode
Identifies the virtual node name associated with this input line. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.
network_address
Identifies the address or name of the remote node. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.
protocol
Specifies the keyword for the protocol used to connect to the remote instance. For a list of protocols and their associated keywords, see Network Protocol Keywords (see page Network Protocol Keywords). An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.
listen_address
Is the unique identifier used by the remote Communications Server for interprocess communication. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.
