NAME
networks - network name data base

DESCRIPTION
The networks file contains information regarding the known networks
which comprise the DARPA 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 "#" indicates 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)
(see "FYI on Where to Start - A Bibliography of Internetworking
Information" (RFC1175) in the MachTen System & Network
Administration manual), though local changes may be required to
bring it up to date regarding unofficial aliases and/or unknown
networks.

Network number may be specified in the conventional "." notation
using the inet_network() routine from the Internet address
manipulation library, inet(3). Network names may contain any
printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or
comment character.
