    _Q_i manages the database of the CCSO Nameserver.  It is the
    "server" program of the server-client pair that make up the
    CCSO Nameserver (the client program is _p_h(1)).

    If given the --ww option, _q_i will run in read-only mode; com-
    mands that would change the database are not allowed.  If
    given the --dd option, _q_i will be run as though invoked by a
    daemon; in this case, _q_i will limit the amount of cpu time
    it will consume.

    _Q_i operates in "super-user" mode when run with its standard
    input is a terminal, file, or pipe.  If its standard input
    is none of the above (implying the connection comes from
    over the network) it runs in anonymous mode, and the opera-
    tions that may be performed are limited.

    _Q_i's availability may be controlled by the file
    /_n_a_m_e_s_e_r_v/_d_b/_p_r_o_d._s_t_a.  If this file exists, and the first
    word in it is "read", then all invocations of _q_i will be in
    read-only mode; no writing of the database will be allowed.
    If the first word of the file is not "read", _q_i will refuse
    to run at all.  In either case, the remainder of
    /_n_a_m_e_s_e_r_v/_d_b/_p_r_o_d._s_t_a will be printed by _q_i as the reason
    the database is unavailable.

    /nameserver/db/prod.{dir,dov,idx,iov,seq,bdx} - the database
    /nameserver/db/LockFile - _f_l_o_c_k(3) lock file for the data-
    base
    /nameserv/db/prod.sta - control file for the database.
