_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Please read Name service facility, introduction first.

       This  package is internal and of no interest to users. It provides the commands of the name service facility which are shared by the client
       and server implemented by the packages nameserv::server and nameserv (the client).

       This service is built in top of and for the package comm.  It has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain Name System. If  the	reader	is
       looking for a package dealing with that please see Tcllib's packages dns and resolv.

API

       The package exports a single command, as specified below:

       ::nameserv::common::port
	      The  result  returned  by  the  command is the id of the default TCP/IP port a nameservice server will listen on, and a name service
	      client will try to connect to.

BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK
