The following rules apply to the format of interfaces file entries:
Each Adaptive Server has only one entry, although there may be multiple lines in the entry.
Each line that follows the servername line must begin with a space or a character tab.
Each element on the line must be separated by a single space.
Each entry is separated by a blank line.
You can add comments to an interfaces file by adding a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line and a line break at the end.
