!!NAME


ethers - Ethernet address to IP number database
!!DESCRIPTION


__/etc/ethers__ contains 48 bit Ethernet addresses and
their corresponding IP numbers, one line for each IP
number:


''Ethernet-address IP-number''


The two items are separated by any number of SPACE and/or
TAB char acters. A __#__ at the beginning of a line
starts a comment which extends to the end of the line. The
''Ethernet-address'' is written as
''x'':''x'':''x'':''x'':''x'':''x'', where
''x'' is a hexadecimal number between __0__ and
__ff__ which represents one byte of the address, which is
in network byte order (big-endian). The ''IP-number'' may
be a hostname which can be resolved by DNS or a dot
separated number.
