    You can use either the name or nscts in this command to
    specify the namespace-ident:

    name    The name of the namespace. The name argument may
            be different from the nickname if the nickname is
            ambiguous.  The name can contain wildcard character
            "*".

    nscts   The value of the namespace creation timestamp
            (NSCTS) assigned to the specified namespace when
            it was created. The format is 14 pairs of hex
            digits (xx-xx).

    You can also enter this command using the dns$control utility.
    You must have the NET$EXAMINE rights identifier on a OpenVMS system.
    No special privileges are required on a Tru64 Unix system.

    Examples:

    show dns clerk known namespace *       ! Displays the identifiers
                                           ! (both name and NSCTS) of
                                           ! all known namespace
                                           ! subentities of the local
                                           !  dns clerk.

    show node true dns clerk -             ! Displays all the known
        known namespace * all              ! namespace information for
                                           ! the dns clerk on node true.

    show dns clerk known namespace *, -    ! Displays the names of all
          with ambiguous=true              ! namespaces known to the
                                           ! local dns clerk which
                                           ! share the same nickname.

1  –  characteristics

 o  UID

    Unique identifier for the entity.

2  –  counters

 o  creation time

    Specifies the time at which the clerk added this known namespace to
    its cache.

3  –  identifiers

 o  name

    Specifies an external, human-readable name by which the namespace
    can be identified. If the namespace nickname is unique, the Name
    is the same as the Nickname. Otherwise, the Name is generated by
    appending _n to the nickname for some value of n that makes it
    unique. The Ambiguous attribute is then set true for the known
    namespace.

 o  NSCTS

    Specifies the creation timestamp of the namespace.

4  –  status

 o  ambiguous

    Indicates whether the nickname for this namespace is ambiguous;
    that is, more than one namespace known to this clerk has the same
    nickname. If true, the namespace nickname is ambiguous. If false,
    the namespace nickname is unique.

 o  explicit creation

    Specifies whether the namespace was created by a create command.
    If false, the namespace was created by the clerk itself.

 o  nickname

    The name given to the namespace when it was created.
