As shipped in IRIX 6.5. First release of 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.
