SYNOPSIS

nbplkup [-r maxresponses] [-A address] [-m maccodepage] nbpname
nbprgstr [-A address] [-p port] [-m maccodepage] nbpname
nbpunrgstr [-A address] [-m maccodepage] nbpname

DESCRIPTION

nbprgstr

registers nbpname with atalkd(8), at the given port. nbpunrgstr informs atalkd that nbpname is no longer to be advertised.

nbplkup displays up to maxresponses (default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet. nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3). An `=' for the object or type matches anything, and an `*' for zone means the local zone. The default values are taken from the NBPLKUP environment variable, parsed as an nbpname.
