| 15 | .SH NAME | |
| 16 | .B isoservices | |
| 17 | \- ISODE services database | |
| 18 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 19 | The \fIisoservices\fR | |
| 20 | file contains information regarding the known services on the host. | |
| 21 | .PP | |
| 22 | \fBNB\0\fR: Use of this database is deprecated. | |
| 23 | Consult the ISODE \fIUser's Manual\fR for further information. | |
| 24 | .PP | |
| 25 | Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. | |
| 26 | However, double\-quotes may be used to prevent separation between arguments | |
| 27 | in the vector. | |
| 28 | The character `#' at the beginning of a line indicates a comment line. | |
| 29 | .PP | |
| 30 | Each line consists of the name of the provider, a slash, and the name of the | |
| 31 | entity residing above the provider; | |
| 32 | the selector used to identify the entity to the provider; | |
| 33 | and, | |
| 34 | the program and argument vector to \fIexecvp\fR when the service is requested. | |
| 35 | If the selector starts with a hash\-mark (`#') | |
| 36 | it is interpreted numerically as a decimal short-word quantity; | |
| 37 | otherwise if it appears in double\-quotes, | |
| 38 | it is interpreted as an ascii string, | |
| 39 | with the usual escape mechanisms for introducing non\-printable characters; | |
| 40 | otherwise, | |
| 41 | it is interpreted as an exploded octet string. | |
