NAME

       gettable - get DoD Internet format host table from a host

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/gettable host

DESCRIPTION

       gettable  is  a	simple program used to obtain the DoD Internet host table from a "hostname" server. The specified  host is queried for the
       table.  The table is placed in the file hosts.txt.

       gettable operates by opening a TCP connection to the port indicated in the service specification for "hostname". A request is then made for
       all names and the resultant information is placed in the output file.

       gettable is best used in conjunction with the htable(1M) program which converts the DoD Internet host table format to that used by the net-
       work library lookup routines.

NAME

       htable - convert DoD Internet format host table

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/htable filename

DESCRIPTION

       htable  converts  a host table in the format specified by RFC 952 to the format used by the network library routines.  Three files are cre-
       ated as a result of running htable: hosts, networks, and gateways. The hosts file is used by the gethostbyname(3NSL)  routines  in  mapping
       host names to addresses.  The networks file is used by the getnetbyname(3SOCKET) routines in mapping network names to numbers. The gateways
       file is used by the routing daemon to identify "passive" Internet gateways.

       If any of the files localhosts, localnetworks, or localgateways are present in the current directory, the file's contents is  prepended  to
       the output file without interpretation.  This allows sites to maintain local aliases and entries which are not normally present in the mas-
       ter database.

       htable is best used in conjunction with the gettable(1M) program which retrieves the DoD Internet host table from a host.
