INQUIRE Command
DSNM Commands

INQUIRE Command Use the INQUIRE command to obtain the current status of objects as recorded in the
DSNM object database. Response time to the INQUIRE command can be faster than
that of the STATUS command, but the response to the STATUS command can be more
up-to-date than that of the INQUIRE command. See “Considerations” for details.

objectspec
is the object specification. The syntax for the object specification is provided at the
beginning of this section, under “Command-Line Syntax.” Detailed discussion of
the object specification is provided in Section 3, "Object Specifications."
hierarchy-modifier
determines which objects are affected by the command, based on the subsystem
object hierarchy:
ONLY causes the command to affect the specified objects, but not
the objects that are subordinate to them.
SUBONLY causes the command to affect the objects subordinate to the
specified objects, but not the specified objects themselves.
ALL causes the command to affect both the specified objects and
their subordinate objects.
The default value is ALL. See Section 5, "Subsystems," for information on how
individual subsystems interpret this modifier. See Section 4, "Modifiers," for
detailed information on the hierarchy modifier.
error-modifier
determines how much information is reported when the command is correct but
the objects against which the command is being executed produce errors. The
error modifier does not affect the command response for errors that result when a
command is entered incorrectly or when a name cannot be resolved.
ERROR-BRIEF returns a one-line response for each object producing an
error; the response identifies the object and briefly describes
the error.
