     (Universal Unique Identifiers).  The llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn administrative
     tool can use these names to  identify  objects,  types,  and
     interfaces;  it accepts names as input and displays names as
     output whenever possible.

     System-wide associations of names with UUIDs are defined  in
     a  public  uuuuuuuuiiiiddddnnnnaaaammmmeeee....ttttxxxxtttt  file  on the host where llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn is
     invoked.  On Apollo workstations  and  other  UNIX  systems,
     user-specific  associations can also be defined in a private
     uuuuuuuuiiiiddddnnnnaaaammmmeeee....ttttxxxxtttt file in the home  directory  of  the  user  who
     invokes  llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn.   The  llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn  tool  reads  these files
     (first the public file, then the private file, if it exists)
     when  it  starts  up,  and  it uses the names defined in the
     files for the duration of the session.

     Each UUID in a uuuuuuuuiiiiddddnnnnaaaammmmeeee....ttttxxxxtttt file appears at the beginning of
     a   line.   Names  associated  with  that  UUID  occupy  the
     remainder of the line, separated by spaces or  tabs.   Names
     that contain spaces or tabs must be delimited by double quo-
     tation marks.  Blank lines and lines beginning  with  ####  are
     ignored.   A  ####iiiinnnncccclllluuuuddddeeee construct supports inclusion of other
     files in this format.

     More than one name can be associated with a UUID if  several
     names  appear  on one line of a uuuuuuuuiiiiddddnnnnaaaammmmeeee....ttttxxxxtttt file, if a UUID
     appears on several lines of one file, or if a  UUID  appears
     in  several  files.   The first name encountered by llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn
     when it starts up is treated as the for the  UUID,  and  all
     subsequent names are treated as Any primary names or aliases
     can be entered as input to llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn,  but  the  tool  always
     uses primary names for output.

     If an undefined name is entered as  input,  llllbbbb____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn  treats
     the input as a wildcard.

     Note that this mechanism for associating  names  with  UUIDs
     may  be  superseded  by  a  more general naming service in a
     future software release.
