nnsd(n) Name service facility nnsd(n) 





NAME


nnsd - Name service facility, Commandline Server Application






SYNOPSIS


nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port
    port?










DESCRIPTION


Please read Name service facility, introduction first.


The application described by this document, nns, is a
    simple command line server for the nano name service facility provided by
    the Tcllib packages nameserv, and nameserv::server. Beyond
    that the application's sources also serve as an example of how to use the
    server package nameserv::server.


This name service facility has nothing to do with the Internet's
    Domain Name System, otherwise known as DNS. If the reader is
    looking for a package dealing with that please see either of the packages
    dns and resolv, both found in Tcllib too.




USE CASES


nnsd was written with the following main use case in
  mind.



  
[1]

  
Run a nano name service on some host.








COMMAND LINE



  

  
The command configures a server per the specified options and starts it.
      The command will not exit on its own, as it keeps the name service
      database wholly in memory. The user has to kill it explicitly, either by
      sending a a signal, or through the job-control facilities of the shell in
      use.
    
The options to configure the name service are explained in
        section OPTIONS.

  








OPTIONS


This section describes all the options available to the user of
    the application



  

  
If this option is not specified it defaults to true, i.e.
      acceptance of only local connections. The server will accept remote
      connections, i.e. connections from other hosts, if and only if this option
      is configured to false.

  

  
If this option is not specified it defaults to 38573. It specifies
      the TCP port the server has to listen on for requests.
