.TP 20
|
|
.B s_name
|
|
The official name of the service.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B s_aliases
|
|
A zero terminated list of alternate names for the service.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B s_port
|
|
The port number at which the service resides.
|
|
Port numbers are returned in network short byte order.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B s_proto
|
|
The name of the protocol to use when contacting the
|
|
service.

.B getservent(\|)

reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B getservent(\|)
|
|
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
|

(either directly, or indirectly through one of
|
|
the other \*(lqgetserv\*(rq calls).
|
|
.LP

.B endservent(\|)
|
|
closes the file.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B getservbyname(\|)
|
|
and
|
|
.B getservbyport(\|)
|
|
sequentially search from the beginning
|
|
of the file until a matching
|
|
protocol name or port number is found, or until end-of-file is encountered.
|
|
If a protocol name is also supplied (non-\s-1NULL\s0),
|
|
searches must also match the protocol.

|
A

|
pointer is returned on end-of-file 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.
