        !            38: library routines.  Three files are created as a result

        !            57: routines in mapping network names to numbers.

        !            59: .I gateways
        !            60: file may be used by the routing daemon
        !            61: in identifying ``passive'' Internet gateways;
        !            62: see
        !            63: .IR routed (8C)
        !            64: for an explanation.
        !            65: .PP
        !            66: If any of the files

        !            73: output file.
        !            74: Of these, only the gateways file is interpreted.
        !            75: This allows sites to maintain local aliases and
        !            76: entries which are not normally present in the
        !            77: master database.
        !            78: Only one gateway to each network will be placed in the gateways file;
        !            79: a gateway listed in the localgateways file will override any in the
        !            80: input file.

        !            88: may be given by name or in Internet-standard dot notation,
        !            89: e.g.
        !            90: .B \-c
        !            91: arpanet,128.32,local-ether-net.
        !            92: .I Htable
        !            93: only includes gateways
        !            94: which are directly connected to one of the networks specified,
        !            95: or which can be reached from another gateway on a connected net.
        !            96: .PP
        !            97: If the
        !            98: .B \-l
        !            99: option is given with a list of networks (in the same format as for
        !           100: .BR \-c ),
        !           101: these networks will be treated as ``local,''
        !           102: and information about hosts on local networks is
        !           103: taken only from the localhosts file.
        !           104: Entries for local hosts from the main database will be omitted.
        !           105: This allows the localhosts file to completely override
        !           106: any entries in the input file.

        !           108: .I Htable
        !           109: is best used in conjunction with the
