.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBnbplkup \fR[\-r \fBmaxresponses\fR] [\-A \fBaddress\fR] [\-m \fBmaccodepage\fR] \fBnbpname\fR 
.PP
\fBnbprgstr \fR[\-A \fBaddress\fR] [\-p \fBport\fR] [\-m \fBmaccodepage\fR] \fBnbpname\fR 
.PP
\fBnbpunrgstr \fR[\-A \fBaddress\fR] [\-m \fBmaccodepage\fR] \fBnbpname\fR 
.SH DESCRIPTION
nbprgstr registers \fInbpname\fR
with \fBatalkd\fR(8),
at the given \fIport\fR. nbpunrgstr
informs \fIatalkd\fR that
\fInbpname\fR is no longer to be advertised.
.PP
nbplkup displays up to
\fImaxresponses\fR (default 1000) entities registered
on the AppleTalk internet. \fInbpname\fR
is parsed by \fBnbp_name\fR(3).
An `\fI=\fR' for the \fIobject\fR
or \fItype\fR matches anything, and an `\fI*\fR' for \fIzone\fR means
the local zone. The default values are taken from the \fINBPLKUP\fR
environment variable, parsed as an \fInbpname\fR.
