.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm services
|
|
file contains information regarding
|
|
the known services available in the
|
|
.Tn DARPA

|
|

|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
tab characters.

|
The port number and protocol name are considered a single
|
|
.Em item ;
|
|
a slash
|
|
.Pq Dq /
|
|

|
|

|
A hash
|
|
.Pq Dq \&#
|

|
not interpreted by the routines which search the file.

|
field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
