p .Ar interface is the network interface of the local machine. .Ar lladdr are the link layer addresses of the remote machines and can be specified as the actual hardware address (six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons) or a hostname entry in
a /etc/ethers . Link layer addresses can be determined and set on .Fx machines using .Xr ifconfig 8 . .Sh FILES l -tag -width "/etc/ethers" -compact t /etc/ethers Ethernet host name database. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ethers 5 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh AUTHORS .Nm was written by .Ar Marc Balmer Aq marc@msys.ch .
