RSPORTS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							RSPORTS(5)

NAME

       rsports - Rose port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       Rsports	is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the Rose ports that are to be used. When dealing with a Rose utility such
       as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port name is a reference to the line within rsports, which has the  same
       name.  The information on each line contains enough information to bind the command to a particular Rose interface, this binding is done by
       matching the address on the line in rsports with the address of the port set by ifconfig or rsattach.

       The rsports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port description in the following  format,  each  field
       being delimited by white space:

	      name address description

       The field descriptions are:

	      name	    this is the unique Rose port identifier.

	      address	    the address of the Rose interface to bind to.

	      description   a free format description of this interface, this field extends to the end of the line. It may contain spaces.

FILES

       /etc/ax25/rsports
