odmadd Command
Purpose
Adds objects to created object classes.
Syntax
odmadd [ InputFile ... ]
Description
The odmadd command takes as input one or more InputFile files and adds objects to object classes with data found in the stanza files. Each InputFile file is an ASCII file containing the data that describes the objects to be added to object classes. If no file is specified, input is taken from stdin (standard input).
The classes to be added to are specified in the ASCII input file. The file is in the following general format:
class1name:
descriptor1name = descriptor1value
descriptor2name = descriptor2value
descriptor3name = descriptor3value
class2name:
descriptor4name = descriptor4value
.
.
.
The input file can contain the \ (backslash), which is handled as it is in C language. String and method values in the input file must be enclosed in " " (double-quotation marks). A descriptor value can span more than one line.
