TOP(M)                   XENIX System V                    TOP(M)



     Name
          top, top.next - The Micnet topology files.

     Description
          These files contain the topology information for a Micnet
          network.  The topology information describes how the
          individual systems in the network are connected, and what
          path a message must take from one system to reach another.
          Each file contains one or more lines of text.  Each line of
          text defines a connection or a communication path.

          The top file defines connections between systems.  Each line
          lists the machine names of the connected systems, the serial
          lines used to make the connection, and the speed (baud rate)
          of transmission between the systems.  Each line has the
          following format:

               machine1 tty1a machine2 tty2a speed

          machine1 and machine2a are the machine names of the
          respective systems (as given in the systemid files). The
          ttys are the device names (e.g., tty1a) of the connecting
          serial lines.  The speed must be an acceptable baud rate
          (e.g., 110, 300, ..., 19200).

          The top.next file contains information about how to reach a
          particular system from a given system.  There may be several
          lines for each system in the network.  Each line lists the
          machine name of a system, followed by the machine name of a
          system connected to it, followed by the machine names of all
          the systems that may be reached by going through the second
          system.  Such a line has the form:

               machine1 machine2 machine3 [machine4]...

          The machine names must be the names of the respective
          systems (as given by the first machine name in the systemid
          files).

          The top.next file must be present even if there are only two
          computers in the network.  In such a case, the file must be
          empty.

          In the top and top.next files, any line beginning with a
          number sign (#) is considered a comment, and is ignored.
