PROTOCOLS(4)                    Domain/OS SysV                    PROTOCOLS(4)




NAME
     protocols - protocol name database

DESCRIPTION
     The protocols file contains information regarding the known protocols
     used in the DARPA Internet.  For each protocol a single line should be
     present with the following information:

     official protocol name
     protocol number
     aliases

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A "#"
     indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the
     line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

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

FILES
     /etc/protocols

BUGS
     A name server should be used instead of a static file.
