RSPORTS(5)
NAME
rsports - Rose port configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
Rsports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the
Rose ports that are to be used. When dealing with a Rose utility such
as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port
name is a reference to the line within rsports, which has the same
name. The information on each line contains enough information to bind
the command to a particular Rose interface, this binding is done by
matching the address on the line in rsports with the address of the
port set by ifconfig or rsattach.
- The rsports 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 address description
- The field descriptions are:
name this is the unique Rose port identifier.- address the address of the Rose interface to bind to.
- description a free format description of this interface, this
field extends to the end of the line. It may contain spaces.
