Name

       nbplkup, nbprgstr, nbpunrgstr — tools for accessing the NBP database

Synopsis

       nbplkup

       nbprgstr [-A address] [-m Mac charset] [-p port] obj:type@zone

       nbpunrgstr [-A address] [-m Mac charset] obj:type@zone

Description

       nbprgstr  registers  nbpname with atalkd(8), at the given port. nbpunrgstr informs atalkd that nbpname is
       no longer to be advertised.

       nbplkup displays up to maxresponses (default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet. nbpname
       is parsed by nbp_name(3). An `=’ for the object or type matches anything, and an `*’ for zone  means  the
       local zone. The default values are taken from the NBPLKUP environment variable, parsed as an nbpname.
