Synopsis

lsmaster [ –kind object-selector-kind [ ,... ] ] [ –fmt format-string ] [ –view view-tag ]
[ –inr·eplicas { –all | replica-name [ ,... ] } ] master-replica-selector ...

Description

This command lists objects mastered by a replica. By default, the command uses only the information known to your current replica. If you list objects mastered by a sibling replica, changes that have not been imported at your current replica are not included in the output. For example, a label type is added at replica sanfran_hub, but replica boston_hub has not imported the update packet containing the change. If you enter the command multitool lsmaster sanfran_hub at the boston_hub replica, the output does not include the new type.

To retrieve information from a sibling replica, use –inreplicas. This form of the command contacts the sibling replicas and works only between sites that have IP connections. If lsmaster cannot contact a replica, it prints an error and tries to contact the next replica you specified.

Object Name Resolution

If you have a view context, lsmaster uses the view to resolve object identifiers (OIDs) of file system objects to the names of the objects. If you do not have a view context, lsmaster prints OIDs for file system objects. You can specify a view context with the –view option.

When you specify –inreplicas, lsmaster prints OIDs for objects whose creation operations have not yet been imported at your current replica.

Restrictions

None.

Options and Arguments

Specifying the Object Kinds

Default
lsmaster lists all objects mastered by the replica.

–kind object-selector-kind[,...]

Report Format

Default
For file system objects, the master replica, object kind, and OID of each object are listed. For example:

master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/dev  file element:oid:40e022a3.241d11ca ...

For non-file system objects, the master replica, object kind, and name of each object are listed. For example:

master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/dev  brtype:main

–fmt format-string
Lists information using the specified format string. For details about using this option, see the fmt_ccase reference page .

Specifying a View Context

Default
The command uses your current view context.

–view view-tag
Specifies a view.

Specifying the Replica from Which to Retrieve Information

Default
The command uses the information in your current replica.

–inr·eplicas { –all | replica-name[,...] }
With –all, retrieves information from all replicas in the VOB family (except deleted replicas). Otherwise, retrieves information from the sibling replicas you specify. The list of replicas must be comma-separated, with no spaces.

Specifying the Replica Whose Mastered Objects Are Displayed

Default
No default; you must specify a replica.

master-replica-selector ...
Lists objects mastered by the specified replica. Specify master-replica-selector in the form [replica:]replica-name[@vob-selector]

replica-name
Name of the replica
vob-selector
VOB family of the replica; can be omitted if the current working directory is within the VOB.
Specify vob-selector in the form [vob:]pname-in-vob
 
pname-in-vob
Pathname of the VOB tag (whether or not the VOB is mounted) or of any file system object within the VOB (if the VOB is mounted)

In these examples, the lines are broken for readability. You must enter each command on a single physical line.
