PROTOCOLS(5N)           COMMAND REFERENCE           PROTOCOLS(5N)



NAME
     protocols - protocol name data base

DESCRIPTION
     The protocols file contains information regarding the known
     protocols used in the local network.  For each protocol a
     single line should be present with the following
     information:

          official protocol name
          protocol number
          aliases

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab
     characters.  A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment;
     characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by
     routines which search the file.

     Protocol names may contain any printable character other
     than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.

FILES
     /etc/protocols

CAVEATS
     These numbers are hard coded into many programs and the
     kernel (see /usr/include/netinet/in.h,
     /usr/include/sys/socket.h)
