Displaying Principal Information
Use the dcecp principal catalog and principal show commands to display information about principals. When you use the principal show command, you must supply the name of the principal to display. You can supply multiple principal names by enclosing them in braces and separating them with spaces.
To display all principals in the registry database in alphabetic order with names prefixed by the cell name, enter
principal catalog
To display all principals in the registry database in alphabetic order with names not prefixed by the cell name, enter
principal catalog -simplename
To display all attributes for a named principal, enter
principal show principal_name
To display all extended attribute instances attached to a principal, enter
principal show principal_name -xattrs
To display all regular attributes and all extended attributes for a principal, enter
principal show principal_name -all
The following example shows the principal catalog used with the -simplename option:
dcecp> principal catalog -simplename

The following example shows the principal show command used to display information about the principal mahler:
dcecp> principal show /.:/mahler
{fullname {Gustav Mahler}}
{uid 30014}
{uuid 0000753e-f51f-2e0e-b000-0000c08adf56}
{alias no}
{quota unlimited}
{groups {{symphonists composers}}
dcecp>
All the information listed by the principal show command is information created when the principal was added to the registry, except the line for groups. This line lists the groups in which the principal is a member.
