One of our forum members married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom.
"How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"
"You're a Moderator at UNIX.COM. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

endservent_r
endservent(3) Library Functions Manual endservent(3)
NAME
endservent, endservent_r - Close the network services database file.
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <netdb.h>
void endservent(void);
[Tru64 UNIX] The following function is supported in order to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions of the operating sys-
tem. void endservent_r( struct servent_data *serv_data);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
endservent(): XNS4.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
PARAMETERS
[Tru64 UNIX] For endservent_r() only, this is data for services database.
DESCRIPTION
The endservent() function closes either the local /etc/services file or the NIS distributed services file, previously opened with the get-
servent(), getservbyname(), or getservbyport function. To determine which file or files to search, and in which order, the system uses the
switches in the /etc/svc.conf file.
[Tru64 UNIX] If the most recent setservent() function was performed with a nonzero parameter, a subsequent endservent() function will not
close the network services database file.
NOTES
[Tru64 UNIX] The endservent_r() function is the reentrant version of the endservent() function. It is supported in order to maintain
backward compatibility with previous versions of the operating system. The netdb.h header file defines the serv_data structure.
ERRORS
Current industry standards do not define error values for the endservent() function.
[Tru64 UNIX] If the endservent_r() function fails, errno may be set to: serv_data is NULL.
FILES
Contains service names. The database service selection configuration file.
