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, network, and gateways. The hosts file is used by the
      gethostbyname(3NSL)  routines  in  mapping  host  names   to
      addresses.     The    network   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 localgate-
      ways  are  present in the current directory, the file's con-
      tents is prepended to the output  file  without  interpreta-
      tion.   This  allows  sites  to  maintain  local aliases and
      entries which are not normally present in the  master  data-
      base.
 
      htable is best used in  conjunction  with  the  gettable(1M)
      program  which  retrieves the DoD Internet host table from a
      host.
