SERVICES(5N)            COMMAND REFERENCE            SERVICES(5N)



NAME
     services - service name data base

DESCRIPTION
     The services file contains information regarding the known
     services available on the local network.  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 (e.g. ``512/tcp'').  A # indicates the
     beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line
     are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

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

FILES
     /etc/services

CAVEATS
     Many programs do not read this file to find their port
     numbers, therefore some port numbers can not be changed.

     The nameserver(8n) does not provide this information since
     it is not machine specfic.
