NAME
      nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/nislog [ -h num | -t num ]  [ -v  ]   [  directory
      ... ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server  transaction
      log  on  the  standard  output.  This command can be used to
      track changes in the namespace.  The /var/nis/trans.log file
      contains  the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server.
      When updates occur, they are logged to this  file  and  then
      propagated  to replicas as log transactions. When the log is
      checkpointed, updates  that  have  been  propagated  to  the
      replicas are removed.
 
      The nislog command can only be run  on  an  NIS+  server  by
      superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only.
 
      If directory is not specified, the entire log  is  searched.
      Otherwise,  only  those  logs entries that correspond to the
      specified directories are displayed.
 


OPTIONS
      -h num
            Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log.
            If the numeric parameter is  0, only the log header is
            displayed.
 
      -t num
            Display  num transactions from  the  ``tail''  of  the
            log. If the numeric parameter is
             0, only the log header is displayed.
 
      -v    Verbose mode.
