PROTOCOLS(5)                 BSD Reference Manual                 PROTOCOLS(5)

NAME

     protocols - protocol name database

DESCRIPTION

     The protocols file contains information regarding the known protocols
     used in the DARPA Internet. For each protocol, a single line should be
     present with the following information:

           official protocol name
           protocol number
           aliases

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.

     A hash mark ('#') indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent char-
     acters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
     which search the file.

     Protocol names may contain any printable character other than a field
     delimiter, newline, or comment character.

FILES

     /etc/protocols

HISTORY

     The protocols file format appeared in 4.2BSD.

BUGS

     A name server should be used instead of a static file. Lines in
     /etc/protocols are limited to BUFSIZ characters (currently 1024). Longer
     lines will be ignored.
