services(SFF)
services --
list of Internet services
Description
The services file contains information regarding
the known services available in the 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 (for example, ``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.
Limitations
A name server should be used instead of a static file.
