## Description

`nbprgstr` registers `nbpname` with

atalkd

8, at the given `port`. `nbpunrgstr` informs atalkd that `nbpname` is no longer to be advertised.

`nbplkup` displays up to `maxresponses` (default 1000) entities registered on the AppleTalk internet. `nbpname` is parsed by

nbp_name

3. An `=' for the object or type matches anything, and an `*' for zone means the local zone. The default values are taken from the NBPLKUP environment variable, parsed as an `nbpname`.

## Environment Variables

NBPLKUP

- default nbpname for nbplkup

ATALK_MAC_CHARSET

- the codepage used by the clients on the Appletalk network

ATALK_UNIX_CHARSET

- the codepage used to display extended characters on this shell.

## Example
