services(4N)                     (TCP/IP)                      services(4N)


   NAME
         services - Internet services and aliases

   DESCRIPTION
         The services file contains an entry for each service available
         through the DARPA Internet.  Each entry consists of a line of the
         form:

               service-name   port/protocol   aliases

         service-name        This is the official Internet service name.

         port/protocol       This field is composed of the port number and
                             protocol through which the service is provided
                             (for instance, 512/tcp).

         aliases             This is a list of alternate names by which the
                             service might be requested.

         Fields can be separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB characters.
         A `#' (pound-sign) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters
         up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which
         search the file.

         Service names may contain any printable character other than a field
         delimiter, NEWLINE, or comment character.

   FILES
         /etc/services
