DESCRIPTION

16       Please read Name service facility, introduction first.
17
18       The  application  described  by this document, nns, is a simple command
19       line server for the nano name service facility provided by  the  Tcllib
20       packages nameserv, and nameserv::server.  Beyond that the application's
21       sources also serve as an example of how to use the server package name‐
22       serv::server.
23
24       This name service facility has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain
25       Name System, otherwise known as DNS. If the reader  is  looking  for  a
26       package dealing with that please see either of the packages dns and re‐
27       solv, both found in Tcllib too.
28
29   USE CASES
30       nnsd was written with the following main use case in mind.
31
32       [1]    Run a nano name service on some host.
33
34   COMMAND LINE
35       nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port port?
36              The command configures a server per the  specified  options  and
37              starts it. The command will not exit on its own, as it keeps the
38              name service database wholly in memory. The user has to kill  it
39              explicitly,  either  by  sending a a signal, or through the job-
40              control facilities of the shell in use.
41
42              The options to configure the name service are explained in  sec‐
43              tion OPTIONS.
44
45   OPTIONS
46       This section describes all the options available to the user of the ap‐
47       plication
48
49       -localonly bool
50              If this option is not specified it defaults to true,  i.e.   ac‐
51              ceptance  of  only local connections. The server will accept re‐
52              mote connections, i.e. connections from other hosts, if and only
53              if this option is configured to false.
54
55       -port number
56              If  this option is not specified it defaults to 38573. It speci‐
57              fies the TCP port the server has to listen on for requests.
