USS_HELP(8) AFS Command Reference USS_HELP(8)NAMEuss_help - Displays help for uss commands (deprecated)
SYNOPSIS
uss help [-topic <help string>+] [-help]
uss h [-t <help string>+] [-h]
CAUTIONS
The uss command suite is currently designed for cells using the
obsolete Authentication Server, and therefore is primarily useful for
sites that have not yet migrated to a Kerberos version 5 KDC. The
Authentication Server and supporting commands will be removed in a
future version of OpenAFS, which may include uss unless someone who
finds it useful converts it to work with a Kerberos version 5 KDC.
DESCRIPTION
The uss help command displays the complete online help entry (short
description and syntax statement) for each command operation code
specified by the -topic argument. If the -topic argument is omitted,
the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the
online help entry for every uss command.
To list every uss command whose name or short description includes a
specified keyword, use the uss apropos command.
OPTIONS-topic <help string>+
Indicates each command for which to display the complete online
help entry. Omit the uss part of the command name, providing only
the operation code (for example, specify bulk, not uss bulk). If
this argument is omitted, the output briefly describes every uss
command.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
OUTPUT
The online help entry for each uss command consists of the following
two or three lines:
· The first line names the command and briefly describes its
function.
· The second line lists aliases for the command, if any.
· The final line, which begins with the string "Usage", lists the
command's options in the prescribed order. Online help entries use
the same symbols (for example, brackets) as the reference pages in
this document.
EXAMPLES
The following command displays the online help entry for the uss bulk
command:
% uss help bulk
uss bulk: bulk input mode
Usage: uss bulk -file <bulk input file> [-template <pathname
of template file>] [-verbose] [-cell <cell name>] [-admin
<administrator to authenticate>] [-dryrun] [-skipauth] [-overwrite]
[-pwexpires <password expires in [0..254] days (0 => never)>] [-pipe]
