tcllib                                                 1.0                                             nnslog(1)

       Please read Nameservicefacility,introduction first.

       The  application  described  by  this document, nnslog, is a simple command line client for the nano name
       service facility provided by the Tcllib packages nameserv, and nameserv::server.

       It essentially implements "nns search -continuous *", but uses a different output formatting. Instead  of
       continuously  showing  the  current  contents  of  the server in the terminal it simply logs all received
       add/remove events to stdout.

       This name service facility has nothing to do with the Internet's DomainNameSystem, 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.

   USECASESnnslog was written with the following main use case in mind.

       [1]    Monitoring the name service for all changes and logging them in a text terminal.

   COMMANDLINEnnslog ?-hosthost? ?-portport?
              The command connects to the specified name service, sets up a search  for  all  changes  and  then
              prints  all received events to stdout, with each events on its own line. The command will not exit
              until it is explicitly terminated by the  user.  It  will  especially  survive  the  loss  of  the
              connection to the name service and reestablish the search and log when the connection is restored.

              The options to specify the name service will be explained later, in section OPTIONS.

   OPTIONS
       This section describes all the options available to the user of the application

       -host name|ipaddress
              If  this  option is not specified it defaults to localhost. It specifies the name or ip-address of
              the host the name service to talk to is running on.

       -port number
              If this option is not specified it defaults to 38573. It specifies the TCP port the  name  service
              to talk to is listening on for requests.
