NIS_INVALIDOBJ The object pointed to by obj is not a valid NIS+ object.
NIS_BADNAME The name passed to the function is not a legal NIS+ name.
NIS_LINKNAMEERROR The name passed resolved to a LINK type object and the contents of the link
pointed to an invalid name.
NIS_NOTSAMEOBJ An attempt to remove an object from the namespace was aborted because the
object that would have been removed was not the same object that was passed in
the request.
NIS_NOSUCHNAME This hard error indicates that the named directory of the table object does not
exist. This occurs when the server that should be the parent of the server that
serves the table, does not know about the directory in which the table resides.
NIS_NOSUCHTABLE The named table does not exist.
NIS_MODFAIL The attempted modification failed.
NIS_FOREIGNNS The name could not be completely resolved. When the name passed to the func-
tion would resolve in a namespace that is outside the NIS+ name tree, this error
is returned with a NIS+ object of type DIRECTORY
, which contains the type of
namespace and contact information for a server within that namespace.
NIS_RPCERROR This fatal error indicates the RPC subsystem failed in some way. Generally
there will be a syslog(3C) message indicating why the RPC request failed.
ENVIRONMENT
NIS_PATH If the flag EXPAND_NAME is set, this variable is the search path used by
nis_lookup() .
NOTES
You cannot modify the name of an object if that modification would cause the object to reside in a different
domain.
You cannot modify the schema of a table object.
