NAME
       rapd - Resource Administration Platform (RAP) server daemon

       rapxfer - RAP resource directory manual area transfer

SYNOPSIS
       rapd [ -d ] [ -l logfile ]

       rapxfer [ -dnv ]

DESCRIPTION
       The rapd command is normally run from the /etc/rc.local script during
       system start-up, to perform appropriate RAP services (often called
       daemons).  On the server machines, the /var/rap directory is used if
       it exists.  This is usually created by an installation script.

       The rapd program should be run on every machine that wants to use the
       location function of RAP in either client or server mode.  The rapd
       program also implements the resource directory for the location func­
       tion of the RAP package.  By default it will broadcast to find
       resource directory servers, and become a server itself if there are
       fewer than the target number per subnet.  The default target is four;
       make it higher on stable machines that you wish to always be servers.
       Lower the target on desktop machines that you wish to never become
       servers.

       The -d option turns on some debugging printouts.  The -l option
       allows a log file to be specified. Otherwise, the file file serv.log
       in the default directory is used.

       The rapxfer program copies an entire area from another server to the
       file named res.db in the current directory. It is normally not needed
       during routine operation, since the rapd(8) program will eventually
       synchronize each copy of the resource directory.  The -d option turns
       on some debugging printouts.  The -n option causes it to go through
       the motions, but not actually transfer any data.  The -v option turns
       on more verbose printouts.

       In previous releases, some of the functionality of rapd was imple­
       mented in separate programs called
