This software helps maintain a network's etcservices file for TCP/IP network configuration.
Urthman's Sockets Database is a highly functional tool that can assist with the maintenance of the etcservices file, which is associated with a TCP/IP network configuration. This software is exceptionally beneficial for developers who are building Intranet and Internet software programs and need to assign their sockets. It includes a carefully compiled database with comprehensive information on TCP and UDP ports along with their service names, available aliases, and descriptions. One of the most noteworthy sources used in developing this database is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which provides in the public domain of RFC documents included in this software package.
The initial database is created using several sources like RFC-1060, RFC-1700, Unix standards listed in RFC-1060, and native services file found in Microsoft Windows 9x and NT machines. This software is highly versatile and enables users to perform various tasks such as searching by port, name, or alias, finding unassigned port numbers, listing names by port number, including aliases, and many more.
For instance, users can import a services-compatible file that includes a port number assigned to one or more categories or delete one or more categorical references using an imported file. Furthermore, it allows users to export a services-compatible file with or without aliases and edit names, aliases, descriptions, and references.
The software includes a unique feature that enables users to search for an unassigned port number to identify 100 unused port numbers starting from the search value they enter. This feature allows users to designate and define port assignments for their software and internal projects.
Moreover, this software organizes every port/protocol record into six standardized and ten user definable classifications, which is user-friendly and offers quick access to comprehensive information. Overall, Urthman's Sockets Database is an incredibly useful and versatile tool for developers that are building internet or intranet software and require detailed information on all relevant TCP/IP socket assignments.
