=head1 NAME

serviceslint - perform verification on the /etc/services file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<serviceslint> I<filename>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<serviceslint> command performs syntax and content checks on the
given filename, normally a copy of the I</etc/services> file.

Syntax checking consists of a regular expression applied to
non-empty, non-comment lines.  If the syntax check fails, then
the program prints a message and aborts with non-zero status code.

Content checking detects various kinds of duplicate entries.
Currently, warnings are printed for duplicate entries, but execution
continues, and the program I<exits with status code zero> (eg. success).

=over

=item B<Malformed line> I<NNN>

The specified line has invalid syntax.  Note that leading whitespace
is not permitted.  Non-empty lines must begin with a comment, or with
a service name followed by a port number / protocol pair.

=item B<Duplicate port at line> I<NNN>

Occurs when a port number / protocol pair is found more than once
in the services file.  The warning is flagged on the second (and any
subsequent) occurrences.  These entries will not be found via the
B<getservbyport()> function.

=item B<Duplicate name at line> I<NNN>

Occurs when a service name, or alias, occurs more than once in the
services file.  The warning is flagged on the second (and subsequent)
occurrence.  These entries will not be returned by the B<getservbyname()>
function.
