Description

The peers command discovers other peers within a peergroup or at a specified peer location. Running this command with no options lists only the peers already known (cached) by the peer. The -r option is used to send a propagate request to find new peers. peers stores its results in the local cache and inserts advertisements into the environment using the name peer X, in which X is a growing integer number.

-a

-v

Specifies an attribute value to limit discovery to only those peers with the given attribute value for the attribute specified with the -a argument. The value can include a wildcard.

-n

Limits the number of responses to n from a single peer.

-f

Flushes the local cache of peer advertisements.
