services - Internet services and aliases

---

DESCRIPTION

The services file contains an entry for each service available through the TCP/IP. 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 spaces or TAB's. 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.
