50: .SH DESCRIPTION
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
67: .I vmunix
68: (default /vmunix).
69: .LP
70: With the
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
83: .B temp
84: is given in the command.
85: If the word
86: .B pub
87: is given, the entry will be "published"; i.e., this system will
88: act as an ARP server,
89: responding to requests for
90: .I hostname
91: even though the host address is not its own.
92: The word
93: .B trail
94: indicates that trailer encapsulations may be sent to this host.
95: .LP
96: The
97: .B -f
98: flag causes the file
99: .I filename
100: to be read and multiple entries to be set in the ARP tables. Entries
101: in the file should be of the form
102: .IP
103: .I hostname ether_addr
104: [
105: .B temp
106: ] [
107: .B pub
108: ] [
109: .B trail
110: ]
111: .LP
112: with argument meanings as given above.
113: .SH "SEE ALSO"
114: inet(3), arp(4), ifconfig(8)
