SYNOPSIS

nnsd ?-localonly flag? ?-port port?

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.
