Name

nbplkup, nbprgstr, nbpunrgstr — tools for accessing the NBP database

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 <maxresponses> (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>.
