DESCRIPTION

9       The  protocols  file contains information regarding the known protocols
10       used in the DARPA Internet.  For each protocol a single line should  be
11       present with the following information:
12
13       official protocol name
14       protocol number
15       aliases
16
17       Items  are  separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A
18       ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
19       the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

21       Protocol  names  may contain any printable character other than a field
