        !            26: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            27: .I Talkd
        !            28: is the server that notifies a user that somebody else wants to
        !            29: initiate a conversation.
        !            30: It acts a repository of invitations, responding to requests
        !            31: by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation.
        !            32: In normal operation, a client, the caller,
        !            33: initiates a rendezvous by sending a CTL_MSG to the server of
        !            34: type LOOK_UP (see
        !            35: .RI < protocols/talkd.h >).
        !            36: This causes the server to search its invitation
        !            37: tables to check if an invitation currently exists for the caller
        !            38: (to speak to the callee specified in the message).
        !            39: If the lookup fails,
        !            40: the caller then sends an ANNOUNCE message causing the server to
        !            41: broadcast an announcement on the callee's login ports requesting contact.
        !            42: When the callee responds, the local server uses the
        !            43: recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate rendezvous
        !            44: address and the caller and callee client programs establish a
        !            45: stream connection through which the conversation takes place.
