Description
The directory object represents CDS directories. CDS directories are containers for other objects, links, and other directories (as well as
clearinghouses). Any item that resides in a directory is called a child of that directory. Directories also contain attributes that may be viewed or modified.
This object also represents CDS replicas. Replicas are read-only copies of directories stored in other clearinghouses. Several of the supported operations take options to indicate that the command is to operate on a specific replica.
If the _s(cds) convenience variable is set, it is treated as the name of a clearinghouse to contact for this operation. This is the only clearinghouse that will be contacted in an attempt to complete the operation. These commands do not set the value of this variable after completion. If a -clearinghouse option is used, then it overrides the value of _s(cds) but the command does not change the setting of _s(cds).
