atnvereg(1M)                                       atnvereg(1M)



     NAME
          at_nvereg - register an NVE on an AppleTalk network

     SYNOPSIS
          atnvereg [-d] [-f network] object -ttype

     DESCRIPTION
          atnvereg asks the Name Binding Protocol module to register
          the Network Visible Entry (NVE) with the given object and
          type name on a DDP socket.  The daemon will broadcast a
          lookup request over the AppleTalk network to make sure the
          NVE is not registered yet.  If a NVE is found with the same
          name, the following message is displayed to indicate that
          the registration cannot be completed:

               at_nvereg:  name already in use, registration not
               completed.

          If -d is used as an argument, the specified local NVE will
          be deregistered.

          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
          (which is required, not optional) 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.

          It is important to note that the path to the network must be
          further specifed with the socket number on which the NVE is
          to be registered.  For example:
               at_nvereg -f /dev/appletalk/socket128 -t LaserWriter
               Writer2
          The program that is going to provide the service that is
          being registered must have the socket open prior to the
          invocation of atnvereg.  This is because the registration
          will be removed when the service associated with a socket is
          not opened by anyone.


     EXAMPLE
          (see the example above)

          The example above will register the NVE with object name
          Writer2 and type name LaserWriter on socket 128.
