RSPORTS(5)                          Linux Programmer's Manual                          RSPORTS(5)

NAME
       rsports - Rose port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION
       Rsports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the Rose ports that are
       to be used. When dealing with a Rose utility such as call, it takes an optional argument
       that is the port name. This port name is a reference to the line within rsports, which has
       the same name. The information on each line contains enough information to bind the com‐
       mand to a particular Rose interface, this binding is done by matching the address on the
       line in rsports with the address of the port set by ifconfig or rsattach.

       The rsports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port
       description in the following format, each field being delimited by white space:

              name address description

       The field descriptions are:

              name          this is the unique Rose port identifier.

              address       the address of the Rose interface to bind to.

              description   a free format description of this interface, this field extends to
                            the end of the line. It may contain spaces.
