nbp - Man Page
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 `=ā for the object or type matches anything, and an `*ā for zone means the local zone. The default values are taken from the NBPLKUP environment variable, parsed as an <nbpname>.
