epd - AppleTalk Echo Protocol daemon

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

     NAME
          epd - AppleTalk Echo Protocol daemon

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/etc/appletalk/epd [-D] [-x] [hostname]

     DESCRIPTION
          Epd is the host implementation for the AppleTalk Echo
          Protocol.  It listens for Echo Protocol packets and returns
          replies as specified by the protocol definition.

          -D   causes epd to remain in the foreground and print
               information about packets received.

          -x   will cause this information to be printed in
               hexadecimal.

          If hostname is specified, it is used to register epd with
          the Name Binding Protocol; otherwise, the gethostname(2) is
          used to determine a name to register.

     EXAMPLE
          /usr/etc/appletalk/epd myunixname

     DIAGNOSTICS
          register error(%d).           Couldn't register this echo
                                        daemon via NBP.
