TALKD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  TALKD(8)

NAME

     talkd -- remote user communication server

SYNOPSIS

     talkd [-dp]

DESCRIPTION

     Talkd is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to initiate a conversation.  It acts a repository of invitations, responding
     to requests by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation.  In normal operation, a client, the caller, initiates a rendezvous by
     sending a CTL_MSG to the server of type LOOK_UP (see <protocols/talkd.h>).  This causes the server to search its invitation tables to check
     if an invitation currently exists for the caller (to speak to the callee specified in the message).  If the lookup fails, the caller then
     sends an ANNOUNCE message causing the server to broadcast an announcement on the callee's login ports requesting contact.	When the callee
     responds, the local server uses the recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate rendezvous address and the caller and callee client
     programs establish a stream connection through which the conversation takes place.

OPTIONS

     [-d] Debug mode; writes copious logging and debugging information to /var/log/talkd.log.

     [-p] Packet logging mode; writes copies of malformed packets to /var/log/talkd.packets.  This is useful for debugging interoperability prob-
     lems.

SEE ALSO

     talk(1), write(1)

HISTORY

     The talkd command appeared in 4.3BSD.
