Name:
/etc/protocols
Description:
The /etc/protocols file contains information regarding the known protocols used in the DARPA Internet. For each protocol, a single line should be present with the following information:
official_protocol_name
protocol_number
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks or
tabs, or both. A #
in a line indicates
the beginning of a comment—any characters after a
#
, up to the end of the line, aren't interpreted by
routines that search the file.
Protocol names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
