allows a principal to test whether an attribute of a name
has a particular value without being able to actually see any of the values
(that is, without having read permission to the name). Test permission
provides application programs a more efficient way to verify a CDS
attribute value. Rather than reading an entire set of values, an
application can test for the presence of a particular value;
(6) control (abbreviated
.B "c" ):
allows a principal to modify the ACL entries associated with a name.
Control permission is automatically granted to the creator of a CDS name;
(7) administer (abbreviated

.B "cdscp"
commands that control the replication of directories.
