NAME
     winsadm - administers  the  Windows  Internet  Name  Service
     (WINS) at the PC NetLink command prompt.

SYNOPSIS
     winsadm  [ -I instance ] e[-b ] [-r ] [-c ] [-d ]

OPTIONS
  -I instance
     Specifies the PCNL instance name  or  number.  In  a  multi-
     instance environment instance may be specified either on the
     command line or by the environment  variable  PCNL_INSTANCE.
     If  there  is only one instance configured, it is not neces-
     sary to specify this argument.

  -b
     Backs up the WINS database. The  backup  is  placed  in  the
     default   directory  (/var/opt/lanman/wins/wins_bak)  unless
     another one is specified in WINS Manager.

  -r
     Restores the WINS database.  The database is retrieved  from
     the default backup directory (/var/opt/lanman/wins/wins_bak)
     unless another one is specified in WINS Manager.  WINS  must
     be stopped to use this command.

  -c
     Compacts the WINS database.  Periodic compacting of the WINS
     database  is recommended to avoid unchecked database growth.
     WINS must be stopped in order to use this command.

  -d
     Dumps the WINS database.  Provides a convenient way of  exa-
     mining  the WINS database.  WINS must be stopped to use this
     command.

NOTE
     You must be logged in as root to execute  the  winsadm  com-
     mand.
