NAME

eui64 - IEEE EUI-64 address database

The eui64 database contains information regarding known IEEE
EUI-64s of hosts. The data is stored in a file called /etc/eui64 in
the following format:: EUI-64 host-name
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab char
acters. A `#' at the start of a line indicates the beginning of a comment
that extends to the end of the line. Valid lines may also contain com
ments. A `+' at the start of a line will cause the eui64(3) library func
tions to use data stored in the NIS eui64.byname and eui64.byid maps in addi
tion to the data in the /etc/eui64 file.
An EUI-64 is expressed in ASCII form as "x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x"
where x is a hexadecimal value between 0x00 and 0xFF. The address values
should be in network order. Hostnames specified in the /etc/eui64
database should correspond to entries in the hosts(5) file.

/etc/eui64 The eui64 file resides in /etc.
