NAME
       ethers - Ethernet address to IP number database

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/ethers  contains 48 bit Ethernet addresses and their corresponding IP numbers,
       one line for each IP number:

              Ethernet-address  IP-number

       The two items are separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB char acters.   A # at
       the beginning of a line starts a comment which extends to the end of the line.  The
       Ethernet-address is written as x:x:x:x:x:x, where x is a hexadecimal number between
       0  and  ff which represents one byte of the address, which is in network byte order
       (big-endian).  The IP-number may be a hostname which can be resolved by  DNS  or  a
       dot separated number.
