.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBnbprgstr\fR
registers
\fInbpname\fR
with
\fBatalkd\fR(8), at the given
\fIport\fR\&.
\fBnbpunrgstr\fR
informs
\fBatalkd\fR
that
\fInbpname\fR
is no longer to be advertised\&.
.PP
\fBnbplkup\fR
displays up to
\fImaxresponses\fR
(default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet\&.
\fI\fInbpname\fR\fR
is parsed by
\fBnbp_name\fR(3)\&. An `\fB=\fR\' for the
\fIobject\fR
or
\fItype\fR
matches anything, and an `\fB*\fR\' for
\fIzone\fR
means the local zone\&. The default values are taken from the
\fBNBPLKUP\fR
environment variable, parsed as an
\fInbpname\fR\&.
