Synopsis
nidump [-Ttimeout
] (-rdirectory
|format
) [-t]domain
Dumps NetInfo information in a flat-file format (such as the /etc/hosts format) or in a raw format that uses a C-like syntax:
{ "name" = ( "localhost" ); "ip_address" = ( "127.0.0.1" ); "serves" = ( "./local" ); }
Options
-
-T
timeout
Specify a timeout in seconds.
- -t
Treat the domain as a tagged domain, which includes a machine name and a tagged NetInfo database. For example, abbot/local refers to the local NetInfo domain of the machine named abbot.
-
-r
directory
Dump the directory in raw format. Directory should be a path to a NetInfo directory, such as /users/root or /machines.
-
format
Specify a format corresponding to a Unix flat file of the same name. Can be: aliases, bootptab, bootparams, ethers, exports, fstab, group, hosts, networks, passwd, printcap, protocols, resolv.conf, rpc, services, or mountmaps.
-
domain
Specify a NetInfo domain. For standalone machines, use a dot (.), which refers to the local domain.
