nnsd(1) Name service facility nnsd(1)
 


NAME

nnsd - Name service facility, Commandline Server Application

SYNOPSIS

nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port port?





 


DESCRIPTION

Please read Name service facility, introduction first.


The application described by this document, nns, is a simple command line
  server for the nano name service facility provided by the Tcllib packages
  nameserv, and nameserv::server. Beyond that the application's
  sources also serve as an example of how to use the server package
  nameserv::server.


This name service facility has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain Name
  System, otherwise known as DNS. If the reader is looking for a
  package dealing with that please see either of the packages dns and
  resolv, both found in Tcllib too.

USE CASES

nnsd was written with the following main use case in mind.


  
[1]

  
Run a nano name service on some host.




COMMAND LINE



  
nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port
    port?

  
The command configures a server per the specified options and starts it.
      The command will not exit on its, as it keeps the name service database
      wholly in memory. The user has to kill it explicitly, eithre by sending a
      a signal, or through the job-control facilities of the shell in use.
    

    The options to configure the name service are explained in section
      OPTIONS.




OPTIONS

This section describes all the options available to the user of the application


  
-localonly bool

  
If this option is not specified it defaults to true, i.e.
      acceptance of only local connections. The server will accept remote
      connections, i.e. connections from other hosts, if and only if this option
      is configured to false.





  
-port number

  
If this option is not specified it defaults to 38573. It specifies
      the TCP port the server has to listen on for requests.
