      set link - Changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued attribute
      of a soft link

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      cdscp set link link-name attribute-name = attribute-value

      link-name The full name of the soft link.

      attribute-name
                The name of the attribute to be modified.  Specify only one

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The set link command changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued
      attribute of a soft link.  The following are valid attributes:


      CDS_LinkTarget = fullname
                Specifies the full name of the directory, object entry, or
                other soft link to which the soft link points.

      CDS_LinkTimeout = (expiration-time extension-time)
                Specifies a timeout value after which the soft link is
                either checked or deleted.  The timeout value contains both
                an expiration time and an extension time. If a soft link
                expires and its target entry is deleted, the soft link is
                deleted. If the soft link still points to an existing entry,
                its life is extended by the expiration time. Specify
                expiration-time in the format yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss (yearmonth-day-hour:minute:second).
  Specify extension-time in
                the format ddd-hh:mm:ss (day-hour:minute:second).


    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You must have write permission to the soft link.

      not be provided in future releases of DCE.
