NAME
servers - Internet server database
DESCRIPTION
The servers file contains the list of servers that inetd(1M)
operates. For each server a single line should be present
with the following information:
name of server
protocol
server location
If the server is RPC-based, then the name field should be
rpc, and following the server location are two additional
fields, one with the RPC program number, the second with ei-
ther a version number or a range of version numbers.
Items are separated by any number of blanks or tab charac-
ters. A # indicates the beginning of a comment; characters
up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines
which search the file.
The name of the server should be the official service name
as contained in services(4N). The protocol entry is either
udp or tcp. The server location is the full pathname of the
server program.
