<div class="block">Provides methods for registering, unregistering and looking up nodes with the
Erlang portmapper daemon (Epmd). For each registered node, Epmd maintains
information about the port on which incoming connections are accepted, as
well as which versions of the Erlang communication protocol the node
supports.
<p>
Nodes wishing to contact other nodes must first request information from Epmd
before a connection can be set up, however this is done automatically by
<a href="../../../../com/ericsson/otp/erlang/OtpSelf.html#connect-com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpPeer-"><code>OtpSelf.connect()</code></a> when necessary.
<p>
The methods <a href="../../../../com/ericsson/otp/erlang/OtpEpmd.html#publishPort-com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpLocalNode-"><code>publishPort()</code></a> and
<a href="../../../../com/ericsson/otp/erlang/OtpEpmd.html#unPublishPort-com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpLocalNode-"><code>unPublishPort()</code></a> will fail if an Epmd
process is not running on the localhost. Additionally
<a href="../../../../com/ericsson/otp/erlang/OtpEpmd.html#lookupPort-com.ericsson.otp.erlang.AbstractNode-"><code>lookupPort()</code></a> will fail if there is no Epmd
process running on the host where the specified node is running. See the
Erlang documentation for information about starting Epmd.
<p>
This class contains only static methods, there are no constructors.</div>
