NAME
----
fcnsq - Fibre Channel Name Server Query Tool

SYNOPSIS
--------
*fcnsq* _host_ --gpn _port_id_ [-q | --quiet]

*fcnsq* _host_ --gnn _port_id_ [-q | --quiet]

*fcnsq* _host_ --gspn _port_id_ [-q | --quiet]

*fcnsq* _host_ --gsnn _wwpn_ [-q | --quiet]

*fcnsq* ?

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *fcnsq* command performs Fibre Channel Name Server queries
for a user-specified FC Host. The supported name server query commands
include: Get Port Name (GPN), Get Node Name (GNN), Get Symbolic Node Name
(GSNN), and Get Symbolic Port Name (GSPN) as described in FC-GS-3 for the
Common Transport (CT) services.

*fcnsq* takes the host bsg name as the input for the target host.  Host
bsg name must be a valid bsg device, e.g., "host12" as derived from
/dev/bsg/fc_host12.  For each name server query command, the argument is
either a Port ID or a World Wide Port Name.  Port IDs and World Wide Names
must be specified in hexadecimal. To disable verbose output, use the *--quiet*
option.

OPTIONS
-------
*host* *--gpn* _port_id_::
	Get Port Name by Port ID for _host_.

*host* *--gnn* _port_id_::
