NAME
     tmanager - Tuple Space Manager(daemon)

SYNOPSIS
     tmanager [ -n netfile ]
                   -------

DESCRIPTION
     tmanager is the network daemon that provides the tuple space
     illusion to the user processes.

OPTIONS
     -n netfile
        -------
          The networks list is located in the file named  netfile
                                                          -------
          If a netfile is not provided, only the network on which
               -------
          the machine resides is used.  The  netfile  is  a  file
                                             -------
          that  contains in each line the name of the network and
          the address of that network in the format  xx.xx.xx.xx.
          An  entry  can  be  commented  out  if  you precede the
          network's name with a !.


EXAMPLES
          example% tmanager -n mynets

FILES
      ~/.netfile,
      ./.netfile

SEE ALSO
     NodeFile(1L), startup(1L), system(1L), posybl(1L).

BUGS (Some call them features)
     The network file should contain the addresses  of  the  net-
     works on which the issue command should be issued. But since
     we cannot broadcast from a node of one  network  to  another
     network what should contain is the adresses of all the nodes
     on which we want broadcast.  Another problem that exists  is
     that  if a machine is connected in more than one networks it
     can participate only in POSYBL programs  from  one  of  them
     since  the broadcasting of the templates is done only to the
     network that is the corresponds to the first address of  the
     machine.  Unfortunately,  it is quite common in our environ-
     ment to have a machine connected to two Ethernets  since  we
     connect two Ethernet segments by using a gateway rather than
     an Ethernet tranceiver.
