### Directory Service Tools

Both CDS and GDS have commands that allow system administrators to inspect and alter the contents of the directory. This can be useful when developing applications that access the DCE namespace.

For information on the CDS control program (cdscp), see the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components. For information on the CDS browser (cdsbrowser), which is a Motif-based utility that allows you to inspect the CDS namespace, see the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components.

For information on the GDS system administration commands gdssysadm , gdsdirinfo , gdsditadm , and gdscacheadm , see the OSF DCE Administration Guide and Reference \.
