12: .SH DESCRIPTION
13: The \fIisoservices\fR
14: file contains information regarding the known services on the host.
15: .PP
16: Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
17: However, double\-quotes may be used to prevent separation between arguments
18: in the vector.
19: The character `#' at the beginning of a line indicates a comment line.
20: .PP
21: Each line consists of the name of the provider, a slash, and the name of the
22: entity residing above the provider;
23: the selector used to identify the entity to the provider;
24: and,
25: the program and argument vector to \fIexecvp\fR when the service is requested.
26: If the selector starts with a hash\-mark (`#')
27: it is interpreted numerically as a decimal short-word quantity;
28: otherwise if it appears in double\-quotes,
29: it is interpreted as an ascii string,
30: with the usual escape mechanisms for introducing non\-printable characters;
31: otherwise,
32: it is interpreted as an exploded octet string.
