The services file contains information regarding the known services available in the Internet. For each service a single line should be present with the following information:

official service name port number protocol name aliases

Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. The port number and protocol name are considered a single item; a '/' is used to separate the port and protocol (e.g. '512/tcp'). A '#' indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file.

Service names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
