gettable(8c) Unsupported gettable(8c)Namegettable - get NIC format host tables from a host
Syntax
/etc/gettable host
Description
The program is used to obtain the NIC standard host tables from a
``nicname'' server. The indicated host is queried for the tables. The
tables, if retrieved, are placed in the file hosts.txt.
The program operates by opening a TCP connection to the port indicated
in the service specification for ``nicname''. A request is then made
for ``ALL'' names and the resultant information is placed in the output
file.
The program is best used in conjunction with the program which converts
the NIC standard file format to that used by the network library lookup
routines.
