DNET_GETNODE(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   DNET_GETNODE(3)

NAME

       dnet_getnode, dnet_nextnode, dnet_endnode - Get nodes from DECnet database

SYNOPSIS

       #include <netdnet/dn.h>
       #include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>

       void *dnet_getnode (void)
       char *dnet_nextnode (void *)
       void dnet_endnode (void *)

DESCRIPTION

       dnet_getnode() Starts the search of the DECnet nodes database (/etc/decnet.conf). It returns an opaque pointer which is passed to the other
       two functions.
       dnet_nextnode() returns the next node name in the list. The pointer is private  to  the	library  and  will  be	overwritten  at  the  next
       dnet_nextnode call.  dnet_endnode() ends the search. It must be called when you have finished with this group of functions or a memory leak
       will result.

EXAMPLE

       #include <netdnet/dn.h>
       #include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       main(void)
       {
	 void *nodelist;
	 char *nodename;

	 nodelist = dnet_getnode();
	 nodename = dnet_nextnode(nodelist);
	 while(nodename)
	 {
	     printf("Found node %s
", nodename);
	     nodename = dnet_nextnode(nodelist);
	 }
	 dnet_endnode(nodelist);

       }
