.B isomacros
\- ISODE macros database
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIisomacros\fR
file contains information regarding local macros for network addresses.
.PP
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
However, double\-quotes may be used to prevent separation between arguments.
The character `#' at the beginning of a line indicates a comment line.
.PP
The first item is the macro, a simple string.
The second item is the prefix for the corresponding network address.
.SH "USER-SPECIFIC MACROS"
By default
a user-specific macros database is consulted before the system\-wide
macros file.
The user-specific file is called \fB\&.isode_macros\fR in the user's
home directory.
