servers
.SH SYNOPSIS
xnsbfs [options] xnshostaddress
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Xnsbfs
performs a broadcast for servers request looking for either a Clearinghouse
or Authentication server as determined by the 
.I -a
option. The broadcast is done via the Packet Exchange Protocol as specified 
in either the
.B "Clearinghouse Protocol"
or
.BR "Authentication Protocol" .
The network addresses of all servers responding to the broadcast are written
to
.I stdout
as they are received.
.PP
If no network address is specified, then the query is broadcast to all
directly connected XNS networks. If an address is specified in
.IR xnshostaddress ,
the broadcast will be directed to that address.
.PP
The possible options are:
.TP
.BI -a
Causes the broadcast to request Authentication servers rather than
Clearinghouse servers.
.SH NOTES
Currently, only those servers responding within 3 seconds of the broadcast
are considered to be available.
