DESCRIPTION
The /etc/services file contains information regarding the known services available in the Internet. Each service description consists of a single line that includes 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 / separates the port and protocol (e.g. “512/tcp”). A # indicates the beginning of a comment; characters between a # and the next newline are not interpreted by routines that search the file.
Service names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
