- Introduction
-
- This note describes the Name/Finger protocol. This is a simple
- protocol which provides an interface to the Name and Finger programs
- at several network sites. These programs return a friendly,
- human-oriented status report on either the system at the moment or a
- particular person in depth. Currently only the SAIL (SU-AI), SRI
- (SRI-(KA/KL)), and ITS (MIT-(AI/ML/MC/DMS)) sites support this
- protocol, but there are other systems with similar programs that
- could easily be made servers; there is no required format and the
- protocol consists mostly of specifying a single "command line".
