        !            51: The
        !            52: .I arp
        !            53: program displays and modifies the Internet-to-Ethernet address translation
        !            54: tables used by the address resolution protocol
        !            55: .RI ( arp (4p)).
        !            56: .LP
        !            57: With no flags, the program displays the current ARP entry for
        !            58: .I hostname.
        !            59: The host may be specified by name or by number,
        !            60: using Internet dot notation.
        !            61: With the
        !            62: .B -a
        !            63: flag, the program displays all of the current ARP entries by reading the table
        !            64: from the file
        !            65: .I kmem
        !            66: (default /dev/kmem) based on the kernel file

        !            71: .B -d
        !            72: flag, a super-user may delete an entry for the host called
        !            73: .I hostname.
        !            74: .LP
        !            75: The
        !            76: .B -s
        !            77: flag is given to create an ARP entry for the host called
        !            78: .I hostname
        !            79: with the Ethernet address 
        !            80: .I ether_addr.
        !            81: The Ethernet address is given as six hex bytes separated by colons.
        !            82: The entry will be permanent unless the word

        !            86: .B pub
        !            87: is given, the entry will be "published"; i.e., this system will
        !            88: act as an ARP server,
