.TH HTABLE 8 "9 September 1987"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
htable \- convert DoD Internet format host table
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B /usr/etc/htable
|
|
.I filename
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "htable command" "" "\fLhtable\fP \(em convert DoD Internet format host table"
|
|
.B htable
|
|
converts a host table in the format specified by
|
|
.SM RFC
|
|
952 to the format used by the network
|
|
library routines. Three files are created as a result
|
|
of running
|
|
.BR htable :
|
|
.BR hosts ,
|
|
.BR networks ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR gateways .
|
|
The
|
|
.B hosts
|
|
file is used by the
|
|
.BR gethostent (3N)
|
|
routines in mapping host names to addresses. The
|
|
.B networks
|
|
file is used by the
|
|
.BR getnetent (3N)
|
|
routines in mapping network names to numbers.
|
|
The
|
|
.B gateways
|
|
file is used by the routing daemon
|
|
in identifying ``passive'' Internet gateways;
|
|
see
|
|
.BR routed (8C)
|
|
for an explanation.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If any of the files
|
|
.BR localhosts ,
|
|
.BR localnetworks ,
|
|
or
|
|
.B localgateways
|
|
are present in the current directory,
|
|
the file's contents is prepended to the
|
|
output file without interpretation. This
|
|
allows sites to maintain local aliases and
|
|
entries which are not normally present in the
|
|
master database.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B htable
|
|
is best used in conjunction with the
|
|
.BR gettable (8C)
|
|
program which retrieves the DoD Internet host table from a host.
