atlaplkup(1M) atlaplkup(1M)
NAME
at_lap_lkup - display the LAP types registered on the local
node
SYNOPSIS
atlaplkup [-f network]
DESCRIPTION
atlaplkup interrogates the AppleTalk LAP (Link Access
Protocol) module to find what LAP types have been registered
by applications. This is for internal use only.
Since it is possible to have multiple AppleTalk networks
attached to a system, this utility needs to know the path in
the file system to the desired network. Using:
-f network
will select the network network. For example:
-f /dev/appletalk2
will choose the second AppleTalk network that is attached to
the system. If -f - is used, then standard input will be
used.
If the -f flag option is not used, there is a sequence of
other locations which are looked at for the network path.
First, if there is an environmental variable ATNETWORK, its
value will be used as the path to the desired network.
If no ATNETWORK variable exists, then the environmental
variable ATDIR is used as a path to a directory that should
contain a file called .appletalkrc. The first line in that
file is the path to the desired network.
If no ATDIR variable is found, the user's home directory is
searched for the the .appletalkrc file.
If all of the above attempts fail, then the default path is
used, /dev/appletalk.
EXAMPLE
atlaplkup
will print out the following on /dev/appletalk:
type connectx name
1 DDP
2 DDP extended
