display—show attributes of an object

Format

Description

The display command lists the attributes for an object in the Printer Inventory. This command writes the attributes to stdout. The attributes are displayed in the format required by the create command.

Operands

objectclass

The class of the object that you want to display. For a list of the object classes, see Table 38.

name

The name of the object. Names are case-sensitive, so be sure to use the correct uppercase and lowercase letters. Enclose the name in single or double quotation marks if the name contains special characters.

Tip: To display the system configuration definition, specify aopd.conf as the name.

Usage notes

• The display command does not list attributes that are specified in any components that are included in a printer definition. If a printer definition includes components, use the display-fully command.
• The display command might not list attributes that you have set to default values. This is because, to save space in the Printer Inventory, the Infoprint Server ISPF panels do not generally store attributes with default values.
