area. It may optionally contain
swap

dump

and other entry types.
Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #) specifies the client name followed by the pathnames that the client may request by their logical names. Names are matched in a case-insensitive fashion, and may also be wildcarded using shell-style globbing characters.
The components of the line are delimited with blank or tab, and may be continued onto multiple lines with a backslash.
For example:
dummy root=server:/export/dummy/root \
swap=server:/export/dummy/swap \
dump=server:/export/dummy/swap \
gateway=router:255.255.255.0
When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for
its logical "root" it will be given server
``server
''
and pathname
``/export/dummy/root
''
as the response to its
RPC
request.
netra[1-5]www* root=server:/export/jumpstart/netra_www
When any client with a name matching the pattern "netra[1-5]www*"
requests the pathname for its logical "root" it will be given server
``server
''
and pathname
``/export/jumpstart/netra_www
''
as the response to its
RPC
request. As this example implies, this is useful for setting up
Jumpstart servers for Sun clients.
