NAME
       atmhosts - ATM host name file

DESCRIPTION
       The  atmhosts  file is an ASCII file that contains an single-line entry
       for each host on the ATM network.   Each entry consists of an ATM  host
       address, official host name, and any aliases.

       Parameters  are	separated  by spaces or tab characters.	 A number sign
       (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the  end  of
       the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

       ATM  host addresses are specified by an even number of hexadecimal dig‐
       its.  Each pair of digits represents 8 bits of address information.  An
       ATM  address  can  be  one  of the following: An ATM End System Address
       (AESA) as registered with the network (19 bytes, or 38 hexadecimal dig‐
       its)  A	local Endpoint System Identifier (ESI) that is registered with
       the local switch (6 bytes, or  12  hexadecimal  digits)	An  AESA  with
       selector	 byte,	representing  the  address  of	a  service on a remote
       machine (20 bytes, or 40 hexadecimal digits).

					Note
       By default, the atmhosts file contains an entry for  Permanent  Virtual
       Circuits (PVCs). The entry consists of an ATM address of 40 hexadecimal
       zeros (0) and the host name PVC. Do not change or delete this entry.
