NRPORTS(5)
NAME
nrports - NET/ROM port configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
Nrports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the
NET/ROM ports that are to be used. When dealing with an NET/ROM utility
such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This
port name is a reference to the line within nrports, which has the same
name. The information on each line contains enough information to bind
the command to a particular NET/ROM interface, this binding is done by
matching the callsign on the line in nrports with the callsign of the
port set by ifconfig.
- The nrports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first
column, or a port description in the following format, each field being
delimited by white space:
- name callsign alias paclen description
- The field descriptions are:
name this is the unique NET/ROM port identifier.- callsign the callsign of the NET/ROM interface to bind to.
- alias this is the alias of the NET/ROM port.
- paclen is the default packet size for this interface.
- description a free format description of this interface, this
field extends to the end of the line. It may contain spaces.
