70 .SH NAME
71 archtab \- mapping from architecture names to hosts
72 .\"
73 .SH DESCRIPTION
74 The
75 .B archtab
76 file is a sequence of lines. A line may be blank, a comment, or a table
77 entry. Blank lines contain only whitespace; comments have a
78 .RB ` # '
79 as their first non-whitespace character: both are ignored. Table
80 entries consist an architecture name and a hostname, separated by
81 whitespace. Each architecture should only appear once. The hostname
82 should be the preferred host for building software on that architecture.
