Internet services and aliases

From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.

NAME

services - Internet services and aliases

DESCRIPTION

The services file contains an entry for each service available through the DARPA Internet. Each entry consists of a line of the form:

service-name   port/protocol   aliases

service-name This is the official Internet service name.

port/protocol       This  field  is  composed  of  the  port
                    number  and  protocol  through which the
                    service  is  provided   (for   instance,
                    512/tcp).

aliases This is a list of alternate names by which the service might be requested.

Fields can be separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB characters. A `#' (pound-sign) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

Service names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, NEWLINE, or comment character.

FILES

/etc/services

BUGS

A name server should be used instead of a static file.
