+ to the NetBIOS naming format.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>FILE FORMAT</h2><p>It is an ASCII file containing one line for NetBIOS name.
+ The two fields on each line are separated from each other by
+ white space. Any entry beginning with '#' is ignored. Each line
+ in the lmhosts file contains the following information:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>IP Address - in dotted decimal format.</p></li><li><p>NetBIOS Name - This name format is a
+ maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional
+ trailing '#' character followed by the NetBIOS name type
+ as two hexadecimal digits.</p><p>If the trailing '#' is omitted then the given IP
+ address will be returned for all names that match the given
+ name, whatever the NetBIOS name type in the lookup.</p></li></ul></div><p>An example follows:</p><pre class="programlisting">

+ type for a name "NTSERVER" is queried. Any other name type will not
