GETPROTOENT(3N)GETPROTOENT(3N)NAME
getprotoent, getprotobynumber, getprotobyname, setprotoent, endprotoent - get protocol entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <netdb.h>
struct protoent *getprotoent()
struct protoent *getprotobyname(name)
char *name;
struct protoent *getprotobynumber(proto)
int proto;
setprotoent(stayopen)
int stayopen
endprotoent()
DESCRIPTION
Getprotoent, getprotobyname, and getprotobynumber each return a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the broken-out
fields of a line in the network protocol data base, /etc/protocols.
struct protoent {
char *p_name; /* official name of protocol */
char **p_aliases; /* alias list */
int p_proto; /* protocol number */
};
The members of this structure are:
p_name The official name of the protocol.
p_aliases A zero terminated list of alternate names for the protocol.
p_proto The protocol number.
Getprotoent reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
Setprotoent opens and rewinds the file. If the stayopen flag is non-zero, the net data base will not be closed after each call to getpro-
tobyname or getprotobynumber.
Endprotoent closes the file.
Getprotobyname and getprotobynumber sequentially search from the beginning of the file until a matching protocol name or protocol number is
found, or until EOF is encountered.
FILES
/etc/protocols
SEE ALSO protocols(5)DIAGNOSTICS
Null pointer(0) returned on EOF or error.
BUGS
All information is contained in a static area so it must be copied if it is to be saved. Only the Internet protocols are currently under-
stood.
