Command Reference Guide

Administration Commands
query_directory_entry
When the command is issued to a running node, it returns information about the resources that have been explicitly
defined (using
define_directory_entry or define_adjacent_len_node) and the resources that have
been located dynamically in the directory database. If the node is not running, only explicitly defined entries are
returned.
When the command is issued to an end node, it returns information only about the end node and its resources, but
not about other nodes contained in the directory database. The first entry returned is for the end node, followed by
its LUs. (No entry is returned for the end node’s network node server.)
When the command is issued to a network node, it returns information about multiple network nodes and their
associated end nodes and LUs contained in the directory. For each network node, the information returned is in the
following order:
1. The network node.
2. The LUs owned by this node.
3. The first end node associated with the network node.
4. The LUs owned by this end node.
5. Any other end nodes associated with the network node, each followed by its LUs.
