NAME
       nnsd - Name service facility, Commandline Server Application


SYNOPSIS
       nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port port?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       Please read Name service facility, introduction first.

       The  application  described  by  this  document,  nns,  is a simple command line server for the nano name
       service facility provided by the  Tcllib  packages  nameserv,  and  nameserv::server.   Beyond  that  the
       application's sources also serve as an example of how to use the server package nameserv::server.

       This  name  service facility has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain Name System, otherwise known as
       DNS. If the reader is looking for a package dealing with that please see either of the packages  dns  and
       resolv, both found in Tcllib too.

   USE CASES
       nnsd was written with the following main use case in mind.

       [1]    Run a nano name service on some host.

   COMMAND LINE
       nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port port?
              The command configures a server per the specified options and starts it. The command will not exit
              on its, as it keeps the name  service  database  wholly  in  memory.  The  user  has  to  kill  it
              explicitly,  eithre  by  sending a a signal, or through the job-control facilities of the shell in
              use.

              The options to configure the name service are explained in section OPTIONS.

   OPTIONS
       This section describes all the options available to the user of the application

       -localonly bool
              If this option is not specified it defaults to true, i.e.  acceptance of only  local  connections.
              The  server will accept remote connections, i.e. connections from other hosts, if and only if this
              option is configured to false.

       -port number
              If this option is not specified it defaults to 38573. It specifies the TCP port the server has  to
              listen on for requests.
