Syntax {otherdir [,nodename]} [;LOCAL] [;KEEP ]
MERGEDIR {configfile } [;NOKEEP ]
[;GLOBAL][;TIMESTAMP ]
Parameters otherdir The name of another network directory file to merge
one or more entries from. The format is:
filename[.groupname[.accountname]]
A file lockword may not be specified.
nodename The name of a single node entry to merge when the
source file is a network directory. This parameter may
not be specified if the source is a configuration file. The
format is:
nodename.domain.organization
Each of the three names may be from one to sixteen
characters long, must begin with a letter, and may
contain letters, digits, underscores, or dashes.
configfile The name of an NMMGR configuration file (NCONF file)
from which a single entry is to be extracted. The format
of this filename is the same as that for otherdir.
LOCAL When the source file is a network directory, LOCAL
indicates that only those entries classified as “local”
will be merged into the current directory.
When the source is a configuration file, LOCAL specifies
that the extracted entry will be classified as “local” in
the current directory.
GLOBAL When the source file is a network directory, GLOBAL
indicates that only those entries classified as “global”
will be merged into the current directory.
When the source is a configuration file, GLOBAL
specifies that the extracted entry will be classified as
“global” in the current directory.
GLOBAL is the default classification when neither
LOCAL nor GLOBAL is specified.
