<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">eui64</code> database contains information
    regarding known IEEE EUI-64s of hosts. The data is stored in a file called
    <span class="Pa">/etc/eui64</span> in the following format:</p>

<p class="Pp">Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
    A &#x2018;<code class="Li">#</code>&#x2019; at the start of a line indicates
    the beginning of a comment that extends to the end of the line. Valid lines
    may also contain comments. A &#x2018;<code class="Li">+</code>&#x2019; at
    the start of a line will cause the <a class="Xr">eui64(3)</a> library
    functions to use data stored in the NIS <span class="Pa">eui64.byname</span>
    and <span class="Pa">eui64.byid</span> maps in addition to the data in the
    <span class="Pa">/etc/eui64</span> file.</p>
<p class="Pp">An EUI-64 is expressed in ASCII form as
    &quot;x-x-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/eui64</span> database
    should correspond to entries in the <a class="Xr">hosts(5)</a> file.</p>
