+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
controls the multi-player
-.IR hunt (6)
+.Xr hunt 6
game.
-When it starts up, it tries to notify all members of the
-.I hunt-players
-mailing list (see
-.IR sendmail (8))
-by faking a
-.IR talk (1)
-request from user ``Hunt Game''.
-.PP
+.Pp
The
-.B \-s
+.Fl s
option is for running
-.I huntd
+.Nm
forever (server mode).
This is similar to running it under the control of
-.I inetd
-(see below),
-but it consumes a process table entry when no one is playing.
-.PP
+.Xr inetd 8
+(see below), but it consumes a process table entry when no one is playing.
+.Pp
The
-.B \-p
-option changes the udp port number used to rendezvous with the player
-process and thus allows for private games of hunt.
-This option turns off the notification of players on the
-.I hunt-players
-mailing list.
-.SH INETD
-.PP
+.Fl p
+option can be either a pathname, in which case a local socket by that
+name is used for the game, or a number, in which case it selects an
+alternate port number for the internet socket used for the game.
+This allows for private games of hunt.
+.Ss INETD
To run
-.I huntd
+.Nm
from
-.IR inetd ,
-you'll need to put the
-.I hunt
-service in
-.BR /etc/services :
-.IP
-hunt 26740/udp # multi-player/multi-host mazewars
-.LP
-and add a line in
-.BR /etc/inetd.conf :
-.IP
-hunt dgram udp wait nobody /usr/games/huntd HUNT
-.LP
-except for Suns which use
-.BR /etc/servers :
-.IP
-hunt udp /usr/games/huntd
-.LP
-Do not use any of the command line options \(em if you want
-.I inetd
+.Xr inetd 8 ,
+you'll need to

+Do not use any of the command line options; if you want

to start up

-.SH "NETWORK RENDEZVOUS"
+.Nm
+on a private port, change the port listed for
+.Nm hunt
+in
+.Pa /etc/services .
+.Sh NETWORK RENDEZVOUS
When
-.IR hunt (6)
+.Xr hunt 6
starts up, it broadcasts on the local area net
(using the broadcast address for each interface) to find a
-.I hunt
+.Nm hunt
game in progress.
If a
-.I huntd
+.Nm
hears the request, it sends back the port number for the
-.I hunt
+.Nm hunt
process to connect to.
Otherwise, the
-.I hunt
+.Nm hunt
process starts up a
-.I huntd
-on the local machine and trys to rendezvous with it.
