9 Rsports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the
10 Rose ports that are to be used. When dealing with a Rose utility such
11 as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port
12 name is a reference to the line within rsports, which has the same
13 name. The information on each line contains enough information to bind
14 the command to a particular Rose interface, this binding is done by
15 matching the address on the line in rsports with the address of the
16 port set by ifconfig or rsattach.
