  82         The two fields on each line are separated from each other by
  83         white space. Any entry beginning with '#' is ignored. Each line
  84         in the lmhosts file contains the following information :</P

  95                 maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional
  96                 trailing '#' character followed by the NetBIOS name type
  97                 as two hexadecimal digits.</P
  98 ><P
  99 >If the trailing '#' is omitted then the given IP
 100                 address will be returned for all names that match the given
 101                 name, whatever the NetBIOS name type in the lookup.</P
