.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a simple program used to obtain the
|
|
.Tn NIC
|
|
standard
|
|
host tables from a
|
|
.Dq nicname
|
|
server. The indicated
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
is queried for the tables. The tables, if retrieved,
|
|
are placed in the file
|
|
.Ar outfile
|
|
or by default,
|
|
.Pa hosts.txt .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Available option:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Get just the version number instead of the complete host table
|
|
and put the output in the file
|
|
.Ar outfile
|
|
or by default,
|
|
.Pa hosts.ver .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operates by opening a
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
connection to the port indicated
|
|
in the service specification for ``nicname''. A request
|
|
is then made for
|
|
.Dq ALL
|
|
names and the resultant information
|
|
is placed in the output file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is best used in conjunction with the
|
|
.Xr htable 8
|
|
program which converts the
|
|
.Tn NIC
|
|
standard file format to
|
|
that used by the network library lookup routines.

|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
If the name-domain system provided network name mapping well as host
|
|
name mapping,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
would no longer be needed.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
