  2.     # old config ./libnet.cfg
  3.     daytime_hosts        ntp1.none.such
  4.     ftp_int_passive      0
  5.     ftp_testhost         ftp.funet.fi
  6.     inet_domain          none.such
  7.     nntp_hosts           nntp.none.such
  8.     ph_hosts             
  9.     pop3_hosts           pop.none.such
  10.     smtp_hosts           smtp.none.such
  11.     snpp_hosts           
  12.     test_exist           1
  13.     test_hosts           1

  16.     $

It tells where the old configuration file was found (if found).

The -h option will show a usage message.

To change the configuration you will need to use either the -c or the -d options.

The default name of the old configuration file is by default "libnet.cfg", unless otherwise specified using the -i option, -i oldfile , and it is searched first from the current directory, and then from your module path.

The default name of the new configuration file is "libnet.cfg", and by default it is written to the current directory, unless otherwise specified using the -o option, -o newfile .
