.SH NAME
abbrev \- Abbreviates host\/domain names
.SH SYNOPSIS
abbrev local-domain1 [local-domain2 ...] < input-file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Abbrev
is a program that is used to construct the
.I domain
table residing in the PP table directory (tbldfldir).
This is a useful tool as it allows a user an alternative
way of specifying an RFC822 address.
If
.I abbrev
is used, an abbreviated forms of domains may be specified
which will then get properly expanded by the PP mail system.
For example an address "Jim.Hacker@cs" could be expanded
to "Jim.Hacker@cs.ucl.ac.uk", depending on
.I abbrev's
parameters.
.PP
.I Abbrev
takes a number of command line arguments, which should be local domains.
It takes as input a typical domain table format.
.PP
For each entry specified in the input-file,
.I abbrev
recursively shortens the key until the domain specified on the command
line and the given entry share no common parts. Each entry is
abbreviated with respect to each command line option.
.PP
Blank lines and comments are passed though unchanged.
