This utility provides a command line interface for the tao_ft_naming service.
tao_ft_naming service supports the NameService and NamingManager interfaces.

Here is a summary of the commands and options:

tao_nsgroup group_create  -group <group> -policy <round>
tao_nsgroup group_remove  -group <group>
tao_nsgroup group_bind    -group <group> -name <name>
tao_nsgroup group_unbind  -name <name>
tao_nsgroup group_list
tao_nsgroup member_add    -group <group> -location <location> -ior <ior>
tao_nsgroup member_remove -group <group> -location <location>
tao_nsgroup member_show   -group <group> -location <location>
tao_nsgroup member_list   -group <group>
tao_nsgroup -help

tao_nsgroup group_create -group <group> -policy <round>

  Adds the object group to to the load balancing naming manager service with the
  specified selection policy. On Creation, an object group contains no member
  objects. Returns error if <group> is not unique. Currently the only load
  balancing policy supported is round-robin.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup group_create -group ieee -policy round \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

tao_nsgroup group_remove -group <group>

  Removes the specified object group from the load balancing naming manager
  service.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup group_remove -group ieee \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

  Note: If the object group is bound with group_bind, you must also unbind it
  with group_unbind.

tao_nsgroup group_bind -group <group> -name <name>

  Binds the specified object group to the specified stringified name in the
  naming service. When clients resolve that name, they tranparently obtain a
  member of the specified object group from the load balancing naming manager
  service.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:

  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup group_bind -group ieee -name iso/ieee \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

  Note: The iso context used in this example must be created before calling
  group_bind.

tao_nsgroup group_unbind -name <name>

  Unbinds the specified stringified name from the naming service, but does not
  remove the object group.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:

  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup group_unbind -name iso/ieee \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

tao_nsgroup group_list

  Displays all object groups that currently exist in the load balancing naming
  manager service by selection policy.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup group_list \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

tao_nsgroup member_add -group <group> -location <location> -ior <ior>

  Adds an member object to the specified object group. After being added, the
  member object is available for selection. Returns error if the ior is not

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup member_add -group ieee -location 127.0.0.1 \
    -ior file://mo.ior -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior \
    -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

tao_nsgroup member_remove -group <group> -location <location>

  Removes the specified member object location from the specified object group.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup member_remove -group ieee -location 127.0.0.1 \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior

tao_nsgroup member_list -group <group>

  Lists the member locations of the specified object group.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
  $ACE_ROOT/bin/tao_nsgroup member_list -group ieee \
    -ORBInitRef NameService=file://ns.ior -ORBInitRef NamingManager=file://nm.ior
  127.0.0.1


tao_nsgroup member_show -group <group> -location <location>

  Displays the object reference that cooresponds to the specified member location
  of an object group.

  Returns Success(0), Error(1)

  Example:
