Intro -- introduction to networking commands

Description

This section describes publicly accessible networking utilities in alphabetical order.

Exit values

Upon termination each command returns two bytes of status, one supplied by the system giving the cause for termination, and (in the case of ``normal'' termination) one supplied by the program, see wait(S) and exit(S). The former byte is 0 for normal termination, the latter is customarily 0 for successful execution, nonzero to indicate troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible data, or other inability to cope with the task at hand. It is called variously ``exit code'', ``exit status'' or ``return code'', and is described only where special conventions are involved.
