SERVICES(5)SERVICES(5)NAMEservices - service name data base
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This file is superceded by netinfo(5) if NetInfo is running.
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:
official service name
port number
protocol name
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; 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.
