NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       FMRI  stands  for  Fault  Management Resource Identifier. It is used to
17       identify resources managed  by  the  Fault  Manager.  See  fmd(1M)  and
18       smf(5).

21       The  in.discardd service provides the server-side of the discard proto‐
22       col. This protocol is used for debugging and bandwidth measurement  and
23       is available on both TCP and UDP transports through port 9.
24
25
26       The  in.discardd  service is an inetd(1M) smf(5) delegated service. The
27       in.discardd detects which  transport  is  requested  by  examining  the
28       socket it is passed by the inetd daemon.
29
30
31       The  discard  service  simply throws away any data it receives from the
32       client.
33
34       TCP-based service    Once a connection is established, the  in.discardd
35                            discards  any data received. No response is gener‐
36                            ated. The connection remains open until the client
37                            terminates it.
38
39
40       UDP-based service    The  in.discardd listens for UDP datagrams. When a
41                            datagram is received, the server discards  it.  No
42                            response is sent.
