C 5 NAME
services - service name data base
DESCRIPTION
The
services file contains information regarding
the known services available in the DARPA Internet.
For each service a single line should be present
with the following information:
10 official service name
.ns
10 port number
.ns
10 protocol name
.ns
10 aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. The port number and protocol name are considered a single item ; a ``/'' is used to separate the port and protocol (e.g. ``512/tcp''). A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file.
Service names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
