 Name

    Intro - introduction to networking commands

 Description

    This section describes publicly accessible networking utilities in alpha-
    betical order.

 Diagnostics

    Upon termination each command returns two bytes of status, one supplied
    by the system giving the cause for termination, and (in the case of
    ``normal'' termination) one supplied by the program, see wait and
    exit(SLIB).  The former byte is 0 for normal termination, the latter is
    customarily 0 for successful execution, nonzero to indicate troubles such
    as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible data, or other inability to
    cope with the task at hand.  It is called variously ``exit code'', ``exit
    status'' or ``return code'', and is described only where special conven-
    tions are involved.
