NAME

       nbp, nbplkup, nbprgstr, nbpunrgstr - access NBP database

SYNOPSIS

       nbplkup  [-r maxresponses] [-A address] [-m maccodepage] nbpname

       nbprgstr  [-A address] [-p port] [-m maccodepage] nbpname

       nbpunrgstr  [-A address] [-m maccodepage] nbpname

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.
