gettable(1M) System Administration Commands gettable(1M)NAMEgettable - get DoD Internet format host table from a host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/gettable host
DESCRIPTIONgettable is a simple program used to obtain the DoD Internet host table
from a "hostname" server. The specified host is queried for the table.
The table is placed in the file hosts.txt.
gettable operates by opening a TCP connection to the port indicated in
the service specification for "hostname". A request is then made for
all names and the resultant information is placed in the output file.
gettable is best used in conjunction with the htable(1M) program which
converts the DoD Internet host table format to that used by the network
library lookup routines.
