Name
       networks - network name file

Description
       The file is an ASCII file that contains information regarding the known
       networks in the DARPA Internet.	For each network, a single line should
       be present with the following information:

       Official network name
       Network number
       Aliases

       Each name is separated from the next by a newline.  Items are separated
       by any number of blanks or tab characters or both.  A number  sign  (#)
       indicates  the  beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the
       line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.   This  file
       is  normally  created from the official network data base maintained at
       the Network Information Control Center (NIC), though local changes  may
       be  required  to	 bring	it  up to date regarding unofficial aliases or
       unknown networks.

       The network number may be specified in the conventional dot  (.)	 nota‐
       tion  using the routine from the Internet address manipulation library,
       Network names may contain any printable character other	than  a	 field
       delimiter, newline, or comment character.

       The  database may be distributed in a network by a naming service, such
       as Yellow Pages or BIND/Hesiod.	See the Guide to the Yellow Pages Ser‐
       vice or the Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service for setup information.
