It isn't in the man page (checked again). However it is in the source.
However, I don't like it much.
o doesn't handle hostnames
o doesn't handle multi-homed host names
o entirely new record has to be created for every service on
every interface!
o everything has to be in the one file. administration nightmare.
say you are running 200 virtual servers with 4 services each
= around 6400 xinetd lines. and grep won't work on it.
o uses bloated multi-line-per-service xinetd config style ;)
