    ARP(8C)             UNIX Programmer's Manual		  ARP(8C)

    NAME
         arp - address resolution display and control

    SYNOPSIS
         arp hostname
         arp -a [ vmunix ] [ kmem ]
         arp -d hostname
         arp -s hostname ether_addr [ temp ] [ pub ] [ trail ]
         arp -f filename

    DESCRIPTION
         The arp program displays and modifies the Internet-to-
         Ethernet address translation tables used by the address
         resolution protocol (arp(4p)).

         With no flags, the program displays the current ARP entry
         for hostname. The host may be specified by name or by
         number, using Internet dot notation.  With the -a flag, the
         program displays all of the current ARP entries by reading
         the table from the file kmem (default /dev/kmem) based on
         the kernel file vmunix (default /vmunix).

         With the -d flag, a super-user may delete an entry for the
         host called hostname.

         The -s flag is given to create an ARP entry for the host
         called hostname with the Ethernet address ether_addr. The
         Ethernet address is given as six hex bytes separated by
         colons.  The entry will be permanent unless the word temp is
         given in the command. If the word pub is given, the entry
         will be "published"; i.e., this system will act as an ARP
         server, responding to requests for hostname even though the
         host address is not its own.  The word trail indicates that
         trailer encapsulations may be sent to this host.

         The -f flag causes the file filename to be read and multiple
         entries to be set in the ARP tables.  Entries in the file
         should be of the form

    	  hostname ether_addr [ temp ] [ pub ] [ trail ]

         with argument meanings as given above.
