tnsuffix

This command allows you to manage AppleTalk map suffixes. You can list, read attribute values of, add, modify, and delete suffixes from the TotalNET AppleTalk map section. Suffixes handle file extensions in AppleTalk maps. AppleTalk maps represent associations between Macintosh-style file attributes and UNIX file suffixes. You can define more than one suffix for an AppleTalk map, and more than one file service can reference an AppleTalk map.
