| 16 | .TH ATHINFOD 8 "30 Oct 1998" |
|---|
| 17 | .SH NAME |
|---|
| 18 | athinfod \- Supply information about a workstation |
|---|
| 19 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
|---|
| 20 | .B athinfod |
|---|
| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 22 | .B athinfod |
|---|
| 23 | is normally run from inetd. It responds to those queries which are |
|---|
| 24 | defined in |
|---|
| 25 | .B /etc/athena/athinfo.defs |
|---|
| 26 | and enabled in |
|---|
| 27 | .BR /etc/athena/athinfo.access . |
|---|
| 28 | The query is read from standard input and must be a sequence of |
|---|
| 29 | printable nonspace characters terminated by a newline (optionally |
|---|
| 30 | preceded by a carriage return). Once the query has been read, the |
|---|
| 31 | receiving side of the inetd socket is shut down and standard input is |
|---|
| 32 | replaced with /dev/null, so that input from the client may not affect |
|---|
| 33 | the response to the query. |
