.TH GRID-NS 1.SH NAMEns \- exports a selected namespace and serves it on.I stdin..SH SYNOPSIS.BI "grid/srv/ns	[ -r " "relpath " "]" " path1 path2...path n".br.BI "grid/runns	[ -r " "relpath " "]" " path1 path2...path n".SH DESCRIPTION.I Nsexports a selected subsection of the local namespace and serves it on .I stdin.The path arguments specify which directories are to be exported. If subdirectories are exported without their parents, .I nsattempts to maintain the namespace structure by creating the parents but populating them only with the selected subdirectories. For example, exporting .B /appl/libwould mean that the exported .B /appldirectory contained nothing apart from the.B libsubdirectory. If.I relpathis specified, all paths will be viewed relative to this path. For instance, if.I relpathis.BR /usr/inferno ,then.B /usr/inferno/bin/diswould be listed as.B /bin/disand.B /tmpwould not be listed at all. .IR Register (1)may be used in conjunction with .I nsto register it with a .IR registry (4)and to export and serve its namespace across.IR dial (2) network connections. Incoming connections may also be displayed visually using.IR monitor (1).For example:.PP.BI "grid/register [" " options ..." " ] { grid/srv/ns " "paths..." " } | grid/srv/monitor 1 'NS resource'.PPThis set of commands is encapsulated within the shell script.I runnswhich will automatically register .I nswith a.IR registry (4)if possible and start up the graphical display to show connections to the resource. There is no need for the user to execute.I nsoutside of.I runnsunless the namespace it provides is required to be accessible in a different way to that provided by.IR register (1)..SH SOURCE.B /appl/grid/srv/ns.b .SH "SEE ALSO".IR cpu (4),.IR grid-monitor (1),.IR grid-register (1),.IR session (1)
