DESCRIPTION

Please read Name service facility, introduction first.

The application described by this document, nns, is a simple command line server for the
nano name service facility provided by the Tcllib packages nameserv, and nameserv::server.
Beyond that the application's sources also serve as an example of how to use the server
package nameserv::server.

This name service facility has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain Name System,
otherwise known as DNS. If the reader is looking for a package dealing with that please
see either of the packages dns and resolv, both found in Tcllib too.

USE CASES
nnsd was written with the following main use case in mind.

[1] Run a nano name service on some host.

COMMAND LINE
nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port port?
The command configures a server per the specified options and starts it. The
command will not exit on its, as it keeps the name service database wholly in
memory. The user has to kill it explicitly, eithre by sending a a signal, or
through the job-control facilities of the shell in use.

The options to configure the name service are explained in section OPTIONS.

OPTIONS
This section describes all the options available to the user of the application

-localonly bool
If this option is not specified it defaults to true, i.e. acceptance of only local
connections. The server will accept remote connections, i.e. connections from other
hosts, if and only if this option is configured to false.

-port number
If this option is not specified it defaults to 38573. It specifies the TCP port the
server has to listen on for requests.
