.TH VIRGILD 8 .SH NAME virgild \- connection service for remote clients .SH SYNOPSIS .B ndb/cs .br .B ip/virgild .SH DESCRIPTION .I Virgild receives requests for name service on UDP/IP port .BR virgil , defined as 2202 by .IR services (6), and hard-coded in .IR virgil (2). Each request has the form: .IP .IB userid ? machine-name .PP .I Virgild translates the .I machine-name using the local connection server (see .IR cs (8)), and sends a response of the following form to the requesting client: .IP .IB userid ? machine-name = network-address .PP If the .I machine-name cannot be translated, .I virgild makes no response; unless another server replies, the client's request will time out. .PP .I Virgild requires that .IR cs (8) be running before it is started. .SH SOURCE .B /appl/cmd/ip/virgild.b .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR rcmd (1), .IR cs (8) .SH BUGS The .I userid part is currently unused but must still be included. .br .I Virgild is single threaded: a delay in translating a name for one client will delay response to any subsequent clients.
