DESCRIPTION

13       gettable is a simple program used to obtain the DoD Internet host table
14       from a "hostname" server. The specified  host is queried for the table.
15       The table is placed in the file hosts.txt.
16
17
18       gettable  operates by opening a TCP connection to the port indicated in
19       the service specification for "hostname". A request is  then  made  for
20       all names and the resultant information is placed in the output file.
21
22
23       gettable  is best used in conjunction with the htable(1M) program which
24       converts the DoD Internet host table format to that used by the network
25       library lookup routines.
