NAME
networks - network name data base
SYNOPSIS
/etc/networks
DESCRIPTION
The networks file contains information regarding the known networks which
comprise the Internet. For each network a single line should be present with the
following information:
official
-
network
-
name network
-
number aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ”#” indi-
cates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not
interpreted by routines which search the file. This file is normally created from
the official network data base maintained at the Network Information Control
Center (NIC), though local changes may be required to bring it up to date regard-
ing unofficial aliases and/or unknown networks.
Network number may be specified in the conventional ”.” (dot) notation or as a
32 bit integer. Numbers may be specified in decimal (default), octal or hexadeci-
mal. A number is interpreted as octal if it starts with the digit ”0”. A hexadecimal
number must begin with ”0x” or ”0X.” Network names may contain any print-
able character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
