## Name

nbp, nbplkup, nbprgstr, nbpunrgstr — access NBP database

## Synopsis

`nbplkup` [-r `maxresponses`] [-A `address`] [-m `maccodepage`] `nbpname`

`nbprgstr` [-A `address`] [-p `port`] [-m `maccodepage`] `nbpname`

`nbpunrgstr` [-A `address`] [-m `maccodepage`] `nbpname`

## Description

nbprgstr registers `nbpname` with atalkd(8), at the given `port`. nbpunrgstr informs atalkd that `nbpname` is no longer to be advertised.

nbplkup displays up to `maxresponses` (default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet. `nbpname` is parsed by nbp_name(3). An `=' for the object or type matches anything, and an `*' for zone means the local zone. The default values are taken from the NBPLKUP environment variable, parsed as an `nbpname`.
