File Formats                                          services(4)



NAME
     services - Internet services and aliases

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/inet/services

     /etc/services

DESCRIPTION
     The services file  is a local source of information  regard-
     ing  each  service  available through the Internet. The ser-
     vices file can be used in conjunction  with  or  instead  of
     other    services    sources,   including   the   NIS   maps
     "services.byname" and the NIS+ table  "services."   Programs
     use  the  getservbyname(3SOCKET)  routines  to  access  this
     information.

     The services file contains an entry for each  service.  Each
     entry has the form:


     service-name   port/protocol   aliases



     service-name            This is the official  Internet  ser-
                             vice name.



     port/protocol           This field is composed of  the  port
                             number  and  protocol  through which
                             the   service   is   provided,   for
                             instance, 512/tcp.



     aliases                 This is a list of alternate names by
                             which    the    service   might   be
                             requested.



     Fields can be separated by any number of  SPACE  and/or  TAB
     characters.  A  number sign (#) indicates the beginning of a
     comment; any characters that follow the comment character 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, a NEWLINE, or a comment character.

     port registration of the service.
