NAME
       nnsd - Name service facility, Commandline Server Application

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.

   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.
