Attributes
uuid hexadecimal number
An internal identifier for the hostdata entry. Its value is a UUID. If not specified on creation, one is generated by
dcecp. May not be modified after creation.
annotation string
A human readable comment field limited to Portable Character Sedt (PCS) data. It cannot be modified after creation. This attribute defaults to a
null string (that is, blank).
storage string
This is a PCS string that identifies the name of the data repository. In the first release of dced, it is a file name. It is required and may
not be modified after creation.
hostdata/data string ...
An attribute that represents the actual data. Its syntax is a list of strings. The data can be viewed and modified in two
different modes, either as a string, or as binary data. By default, the string mode is used, but some of the commands below accept a binary option to allow this attribute to be displayed or modified
in binary form. When viewed as a string, each string in the list represents one line in the hostdata file.
See the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components for more information about attributes.
