NAME

       rsports - Rose port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       Rsports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the Rose ports that are to be used. When
       dealing  with a Rose utility such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port
       name is a reference to the line within rsports, which has the same name. The  information  on  each  line
       contains  enough  information to bind the command to a particular Rose interface, this binding is done by
       matching the address on the line in rsports with the address of the port set by ifconfig or rsattach.

       The rsports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port  description  in
       the following format, each field being delimited by white space:

              name address description

       The field descriptions are:

              name          this is the unique Rose port identifier.

              address       the address of the Rose interface to bind to.

              description   a  free  format  description of this interface, this field extends to the end of the
                            line. It may contain spaces.
