+.SH NAME
+rsports \- Rose port configuration file.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B Rsports
+is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the Rose
+ports that are to be used. When dealing with a Rose utility such as
+.B call,
+it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port name is a
+reference to the line within
+.B rsports,
+which has the same name. The information on each line contains
+enough information to bind the command to a particular Rose
+interface, this binding is done by matching the address on the line in
+.B rsports
+with the address of the port set by
+.B ifconfig
+or
+.B rsattach.
+.LP
+The
+.B rsports
+file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port
+description in the following format, each field being delimited by white space:
+.sp
+.RS
