rpcentry create

Creates an empty entry in the name service. The syntax is:

rpcentry create entry_name_list

Description
The rpcentry create operation creates an empty entry in the name service. Because an empty entry is the same as an empty RPC group or RPC profile, calling rpcentry create is the same as calling rpcgroup create or rpcprofile create. The entry name argument is a list of names of RPC entries to be created. If the RPC entry already exists, create returns an error message. This operation returns an empty string on success.

Privileges Required
To create an rpcentry, you need i (insert) permission to the parent directory and both r (read) permission and w (write) permission to the CDS object entry (the target name service entry).

Examples
The following command adds an unspecialized entry to the name service database:

dcecp> rpcentry create /.:/LandS/anthro/Cal_host_2
dcecp>
