-<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">ethers</code> database contains information
- regarding known 48-bit ethernet addresses of hosts on an Internetwork. The
- data is stored in a file called <span class="Pa">/etc/ethers</span> in the
- following format:</p>
-<p class="Pp"></p>
-<div class="Bd Bd-indent"><var class="Ar">ethernet-address
- fully-qualified-host-name</var></div>
-<p class="Pp">Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
- A ``#'' at the start of a line indicates the beginning of a comment that
- extends to the end of the line. A ``+'' at the start of a line will cause
- the <a class="Xr">ethers(3)</a> library functions to use data stored in the
- NIS <span class="Pa">ethers.byname</span> and
- <span class="Pa">ethers.byaddr</span> maps in addition to the data in the
- <span class="Pa">/etc/ethers</span> file.</p>
-<p class="Pp">An ethernet address is expressed in ASCII form as
- &quot;x:x:x:x:x:x&quot; where <var class="Ar">x</var> is a hexadecimal value
- between 0x00 and 0xFF. The address values should be in network order.
- Hostnames specified in the <span class="Pa">/etc/ethers</span> database
- should correspond to entries in the <a class="Xr">hosts(5)</a> file.</p>
-<p class="Pp" id="ether_line">The
- <a class="permalink" href="#ether_line"><code class="Fn">ether_line</code></a>()
- function in the standard C library can be used to break individual lines in
- the <span class="Pa">/etc/ethers</span> database into their individual
- components: a binary Ethernet address stored as an
- <span class="Pa">ether_addr</span> structure, and a hostname stored as a
- character string.</p>
