DESCRIPTION
       Please read Name service facility, introduction first.

       This  package  is  internal  and  of  no  interest to users. It provides the commands of the name service
       facility which are shared by the client and server  implemented  by  the  packages  nameserv::server  and
       nameserv (the client).

       This  service  is  built  in  top  of and for the package comm.  It has nothing to do with the Internet's
       Domain Name System. If the reader is looking for a package dealing with that please see Tcllib's packages
       dns and resolv.


API
       The package exports a single command, as specified below:

       ::nameserv::common::port
              The  result returned by the command is the id of the default TCP/IP port a nameservice server will
              listen on, and a name service client will try to connect to.
