NAME
services - service name data base

DESCRIPTION
The services file contains information regarding the known services
available in the DARPA Internet. For each service a single line
should be present with the following information:

official service name
port number
protocol name
aliases

Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
The port number and protocol name are considered a single item; a
"/" is used to separate the port and protocol (e.g. "512/tcp").
A "#" indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters
up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which
search the file.

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

FILES
/etc/services

BUGS
A name server should be used instead of a static file.
