hostname_map(4) ToolTalk Commands hostname_map(4) NAME hostname_map - tell ToolTalk clients to use a per-host alternative rpc.ttdbserverd(8) SYNOPSIS hostname_map DESCRIPTION A ToolTalk hostname_map tells ToolTalk clients to use host A's rpc.ttdbserverd(8) as a proxy for host B. In this way, ToolTalk data- bases can be created for filesystems exported from hosts (like host B) that for whatever reason do not run rpc.ttdbserverd(8). The hostname_map file is called "hostname_map" and resides in the same directories as the ToolTalk types databases; see tt_type_comp(1). If $TT_HOSTNAME_MAP is set, it is used in place of $HOME/.tt/hostname_map. ToolTalk clients read the hostname maps when the ToolTalk client library is initialized in e.g. tt_open(3). ttsession reads the host- name maps upon startup and rereads them if it receives signal USR2. Format rules The format rules for a hostname_map are: 1. Any line beginning with a "#" or white-space and a "#" is a comment. 2. Blank lines are comments. 3. Words are delimited by white space. 4. The first word in a non-comment line is the host name from which to map. 5. The second word in a non-comment line is the host name to which to map. ENVIRONMENT TT_HOSTNAME_MAP If $TT_HOSTNAME_MAP is set, it is used in place of $HOME/.tt/hostname_map. TTPATH A colon-separated list of directories in which to seek host- name_maps. See tt_type_comp(1). EXAMPLES This example maps "mainframe1" to "sparcstorage": # rpc.ttdbserverd cannot run on filesystems # exported from mainframe mainframe1 sparcstorage ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+------------------+ |Availability | library/tooltalk | +---------------+------------------+ |Stability | Committed | +---------------+------------------+ SEE ALSO rpc.ttdbserverd(8), ttsession(1), tt_type_comp(1), tt_open(3), parti- tion_map(4) ToolTalk 1.3 1 March 1996 hostname_map(4)
