ISOSERVICES(5)

NAME
isoservices - ISODE services database

DESCRIPTION
The isoservices file contains information regarding the known services on the host.

NB : Use of this database is deprecated. Consult the ISODE User's Manual for further information.

Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. However, double-quotes may be used to prevent separation between arguments in the vector. The character `#' at the beginning of a line indicates a comment line.

Each line consists of the name of the provider, a slash, and the name of the entity residing above the provider; the selector used to identify the entity to the provider; and, the program and argument vector to execvp when the service is requested. If the selector starts with a hash-mark (`#') it is interpreted numerically as a decimal short-word quantity; otherwise if it appears in double-quotes, it is interpreted as an ascii string, with the usual escape mechanisms for introducing non-printable characters; otherwise, it is interpreted as an exploded octet string.
