NAME

services − service name data base

DESCRIPTION

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 (for example, “512/tcp”). A “#” indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

Service names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
