NAME

servers − inet server data base

DESCRIPTION

The servers file contains the list of servers that inetd(1m) operates. For each server a single line should be present with the following information:

name of server

protocol

server location

If the server is rpc based, then the name field should be rpc, and following the server location are two additional fields, one with the rpc program number, the second with either a version number or a range of version numbers. 

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. 

The name of the server should be the official service name as contained in services(5). The protocol entry is either udp or tcp. The server location is the full path name of the server program.

EXAMPLE

The following example is taken from the Sun UNIX system.

BUGS

Because of a limitation on the number of open files, this file must contain fewer than 27 lines.
