NAME
       nameclt - Naming Service client

SYNOPSIS
       nameclt [-ior <object-reference>] [-advanced] <operation>

DESCRIPTION
       The nameclt command invokes operations on the Naming Service.  The
       allowed operations are:

              list <context-name>
                     lists contexts and objects bound in the context with the
                     specified name.

              bind_new_context <context-name>
                     binds name to a new context, and returns the stringified
                     context IOR.

              remove_context <context-name>
                     unbinds and destroys the named context, as long as it is
                     empty.

              bind <object-name> <stringified-IOR>
                     binds name to object.

              unbind <object-name>
                     unbinds name and object.

              resolve <object-name>
                     returns stringified IOR bound to specified name.

OPTIONS
       -ior NameService-object-reference
              Use the given stringified IOR as the "root" context of the
              naming service.  By default, nameclt uses the object reference
              returned by calling
              CORBA::ORB::resolve_initial_references("NameService").

       -advanced
              Allow advanced operations.  These are operations which should
              not normally need to be used.  They may however be useful for
              testing the naming service and also for cleaning up in the event
              of a client messing up the namespace.  The operations are:

              bind_context <context-name> <stringified-IOR>
                     binds name to context.

              rebind <object-name> <stringified-IOR>
                     binds name to object even if binding already exists.

              rebind_context <context-name> <stringified-IOR>
                     binds name to context even if binding already exists.

              new_context
                     returns stringified IOR for a new context.

              destroy
                     destroys the naming context given with -ior flag.
