The operation is not "copy" but "snarf". It's called "snarf" because

Hi All,
I'm looking at setting up a multicast dns on plan9. First, I need to be able to
write a mdns server and client.
I see from the net manual page that there are references to multicast, namely
addmulti and remmulti ctl messages. I'm not entirely sure how they work.
