+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ethers
+.Nd Ethernet host name data base
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+file maps Ethernet MAC addresses to host names.
+Lines consist of an address and a host name, separated by any number
+of blanks and/or tab characters.
+A
+.Sq \&#
+character indicates the beginning of a comment;
+characters up to the end of
+the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
+.Pp
+Each line in
+.Nm
+has the format:
+.Dl ethernet-MAC-address hostname-or-IP
+.Pp
+Ethernet MAC addresses are expressed as six hexadecimal numbers separated
+by colons, e.g. "08:00:20:00:5a:bc".
+The functions described in
+.Xr ethers 3
+and
+.Xr ether_aton 3
+can read and produce this format.
+.Pp
+The traditional use of
+.Nm
+involved using hostnames for the second argument.
+This may not be suitable for machines that don't have a common MAC
+address for all interfaces (i.e., just about every non
+.Tn Sun
+machine).
+There should be no problem in using an IP address as the second field
+if you wish to differentiate between different interfaces on a system.

+file format was adopted from

+.Sh BUGS
+A name server should be used instead of a static file.
