.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IR Getservent ,
|
|
.IR getservbyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I getservbyport
|
|
each return a pointer to an object with the
|
|
following structure
|
|
containing the broken-out
|
|
fields of a line in the network services data base,
|
|
.IR /etc/services .

The members of this structure are:
|
|
.TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|
s_name
|
|
The official name of the service.
|
|
.TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|
s_aliases
|
|
A zero terminated list of alternate names for the service.
|
|
.TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|
s_port
|
|
The port number at which the service resides.
|
|
Port numbers are returned in network byte order.
|
|
.TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|
s_proto
|
|
The name of the protocol to use when contacting the
|
|
service.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Getservent
|
|
reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Setservent
|
|
opens and rewinds the file. If the
|
|
.I stayopen
|
|
flag is non-zero,
|
|
the net data base will not be closed after each call to
|
|
.I getservbyname
|
|
or
|
|
.IR getservbyport .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Endservent
|
|
closes the file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Getservbyname
|
|
and
|
|
.I getservbyport
|
|
sequentially search from the beginning
|
|
of the file until a matching
|
|
protocol name or
|
|
port number is found,
|
|
or until EOF is encountered.
|
|
If a protocol name is also supplied (non-NULL),
|
|
searches must also match the protocol.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Null pointer
|
|
(0) returned on EOF or error.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
All information
|
|
is contained in a static area
|
|
so it must be copied if it is
|
|
to be saved. Expecting port
|
|
numbers to fit in a 32 bit
|
|
quantity is probably naive.
