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