NAME

       rsports - Rose port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       Rsports  is  an ASCII file that contains information about each of the Rose ports that are
       to be used. When dealing with a Rose utility such as call, it takes an  optional  argument
       that is the port name. This port name is a reference to the line within rsports, which has
       the same name. The information on each  line  contains  enough  information  to  bind  the
       command  to  a  particular Rose interface, this binding is done by matching the address on
       the line in rsports with the address of the port set by ifconfig or rsattach.

       The rsports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or  a  port
       description in the following format, each field being delimited by white space:

              name address description

       The field descriptions are:

              name          this is the unique Rose port identifier.

              address       the address of the Rose interface to bind to.

              description   a  free  format  description of this interface, this field extends to
                            the end of the line. It may contain spaces.
