talkd(8c)
NAME
talkd − inter-terminal communications server
SYNTAX
/usr/etc/talkd
DESCRIPTION
The talkd server for the talk(1) program provides a rendezvous method for the requesting (possibly remote) talk and the local responding talk.
You invoke talkd by inetd(8c) when it receives a packet on the port indicated in the “talk” service specification. For further information, see services(5).
RESTRICTIONS
The talkd server does not strictly follow network byte order in its packet format and may have difficulty in talking with implementations of talkd on other architectures that do not take this into account.
