NAME
       networks - network name information

DESCRIPTION
       The  file /etc/networks is a plain ASCII file that describes known DARPA networks and sym-
       bolic names for these networks.  Each line represents a  network  and  has  the  following
       structure:

              name number aliases ...

       where  the  fields  are  delimited by spaces or tabs.  Empty lines are ignored.  If a line
       contains a hash mark (#), the hash mark and the remaining part of the line are ignored.

       The field descriptions are:


       name   The symbolic name for the network.

       number The official number for this network in dotted-decimal notation.  The trailing ".0"
              may be omitted.

       aliases
              Optional aliases for the network.


       This  file  is read by route or netstat utilities.  Only Class A, B or C networks are sup-
       ported, partitioned networks (i.e. network/26 or network/28) are  not  supported  by  this
       facility.

FILES
       /etc/networks
              The networks definition file.
