 showcdf(1)                                                       showcdf(1)





 NAME
      showcdf - show the actual path name matched for a CDF

 SYNOPSIS
      showcdf [-chs] name ...

 DESCRIPTION
      showcdf displays on the standard output the actual path name matched
      for each path name specified in the argument list.  If any name is a
      context-dependent file (CDF), the actual file matched for that name is
      displayed.  If any name is not a CDF, the name is simply displayed.

    Options
      showcdf recognizes the following options:

           -c      Suppress the printing of non-CDF files.  Only files whose
                   path contains a CDF are displayed.

           -h      Hides, rather than displays, any unnecessary parts of the
                   specified path names.  If any name is a context-dependent
                   file (CDF), any portions of name that match the current
                   context are removed from the path.

           -s      Suppress all output.  This option is useful when testing
                   for the exit value from showcdf.

 RETURN VALUE
      Upon completion, showcdf returns one of the following exit values:

           0    No CDF|c s were specified.
           1    At least one CDF was specified.
           2    An error occurred (for example, a file is inaccessible).

 EXAMPLES
      The following example shows the output of showcdf when applied to the
      files /etc/inittab and /usr/adm/sulog, which are CDFs, and
      /etc/passwd, which is not a CDF:

           $ showcdf /etc/inittab /usr/adm/sulog /etc/passwd
           /etc/inittab+/donald
           /usr/adm+/donald/sulog
           /etc/passwd

           $ showcdf -c /etc/inittab /usr/adm/sulog /etc/passwd
           /etc/inittab+/donald
           /usr/adm+/donald/sulog

      The following example shows the output of showcdf -h when applied to
      /etc/inittab+/donald and /etc/inittab+/minnie, where donald matches
      the current context, but minnie does not.
