Parameters

Parameter	Description
<FASTSearchFolder>	The path of the folder where you have installed FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint, for example C:\FASTSearch.

The nameserver_client command-line tool retrieves and prints a set of entries from the name server. The following options determine which entries to retrieve from the name server:

• --name-prefix

• --interface

• --version

• --host

Matches against the --interface, --version, and --host options must be exact on the full strings. A match against the --name-prefix option must be exact on a prefix.

Output entries are Abstract Object References (AORs), representing middleware server objects in a running deployment. The output contains a single AOR for each line in the format:

aor[host:port interface_type interface_version object_id name]

The host is matched against the --host option, interface_type against the --interface option, interface_version against the --version option, and name against the --name-prefix option.

If no options are specified, all AOR entries registered in the name server are retrieved.
