Viewing the Namespace with the CDS Browser

The CDS browser is a tool for viewing the content and structure of a namespace, which runs on workstations with the OSF/Motif graphical user interface or compatible software. The program can display an overall directory structure as well as show the contents of directories, enabling you to monitor growth in the size and number of directories in a namespace. You also can customize the CDS browser so that it displays only a specific class of object names.

To start the CDS browser, enter the following command at your system prompt:

$ cdsbrowser

To end a CDS browser session and return to your system prompt, choose Quit from the File pulldown menu. (See thecdsbrowser(8dce) reference page for a complete description of the cdsbrowser command.)
