NAME
       htable - convert DoD Internet format host table

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/htable filename

DESCRIPTION
       htable  converts a host table in the format specified by RFC 952 to the
       format used by the network library routines.  Three files  are  created
       as a result of running htable: hosts, networks, and gateways. The hosts
       file is used by the gethostbyname(3NSL) routines in mapping host	 names
       to  addresses.	The networks file is used by the getnetbyname(3SOCKET)
       routines in mapping network names to numbers. The gateways file is used
       by the routing daemon to identify "passive" Internet gateways.

       If  any	of  the	 files localhosts, localnetworks, or localgateways are
       present in the current directory, the file's contents is	 prepended  to
       the  output file without interpretation.	 This allows sites to maintain
       local aliases and entries which are not normally present in the	master
       database.

       htable  is best used in conjunction with the gettable(1M) program which
       retrieves the DoD Internet host table from a host.

FILES
       localhosts

       localnetworks
