DESCRIPTION
Please read Name service facility, introduction first.
This package is internal and of no interest to users. It provides the
commands of the name service facility which are shared by the client
and server implemented by the packages nameserv::server and nameserv
(the client).
This service is built in top of and for the package comm. It has noth-
ing to do with the Internet's Domain Name System. If the reader is
looking for a package dealing with that please see Tcllib's packages
dns and resolv.
API
The package exports a single command, as specified below:
::nameserv::common::port
The result returned by the command is the id of the default
TCP/IP port a nameservice server will listen on, and a name ser-
vice client will try to connect to.
