  NAME

    services - service name database

  DESCRIPTION

    The file /etc/services contains information regarding the known services
    available in the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA)
    Internet.  For each service, a single line should have 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 slash (/) is
    used to separate the port and protocol (such as 512/tcp).  A number sign
    (#) 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 displayable character other than a field
    delimiter, newline, or comment character.

  FILES

    /etc/services   Default location of the services file.
