They are:
inetd provides several “trivial” services internally by use of routines
within itself. These services are “echo”, “discard”, “chargen” (charac‐
ter generator), “daytime” (human readable time), and “time” (machine
readable time, in the form of the number of seconds since midnight, Janu‐
ary 1, 1900). All of these services are TCP based. For details of these
services, consult the appropriate RFC from the Network Information Cen‐
ter.
