NAME

       nbplkup, nbprgstr, nbpunrgstr - access NBP database

SYNOPSIS

       nbplkup [ -r nresp ] [ nbpname ]

       nbprgstr [ -p port ] nbpname

       nbpunrgstr nbpname

DESCRIPTION

       nbprgstr registers nbpname with atalkd(8), at the given port.  nbpunrgstr informs atalkd that nbpname is no longer to be advertised.

       nbplkup	displays  up to nresp (default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet.  nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3).	An `=' for
       the object or type matches anything, and an `*' for zone means the local zone. The default values are taken from  the  NBPLKUP  environment
       variable, parsed as an nbpname.

EXAMPLE

       Find all devices of type LaserWriter in the local zone.
