Hello,

There is a 'dnlc' command in AIX inside kdb.
I see that it prints a really huge list -the last entry of which is
..init.state. Is that really the end of name cache or is there some
other marker to indicate end of name cache? I can see some entries with
vnode# = 0x0. How can that be a valid entry and if it isn't why is it
in the name cache? Is this a bug or a feature?

I would appreciate any tips on understanding the output of dnlc.

thanks

I may not have written correctly in the post below -but I am interested
in the manpage for 'dnlc' command in kdb.

I found another post which claims that IBM makes it a pt not to provide
access to the namecache.

I wish IBM could explain to its customers why they have given a 'dnlc'
command in kdb -but refused to document its output. Is it intentional
or accidental??

regards
