|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getprotoent ,
|
|
.Fn getprotobyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getprotobynumber
|
|
functions
|
|
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,
|
|
.Pa /etc/protocols .

struct protoent {
|
|
char *p_name; /* official name of protocol */
|
|
char **p_aliases; /* alias list */
|
|
int p_proto; /* protocol number */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The members of this structure are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width p_aliases
|
|
.It Fa p_name
|
|
The official name of the protocol.
|
|
.It Fa p_aliases
|
|
A zero terminated list of alternate names for the protocol.
|
|
.It Fa p_proto
|
|
The protocol number.
|
|

.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getprotoent
|
|
function
|
|
reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setprotoent
|
|
function
|
|
opens and rewinds the file. If the
|
|
.Fa stayopen
|
|
flag is non-zero,
|
|
the net data base will not be closed after each call to
|
|
.Fn getprotobyname
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn getprotobynumber .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn endprotoent
|
|
function
|
|
closes the file.
|

|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getprotobyname
|
|
function
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getprotobynumber
|
|
sequentially search from the beginning
|
|
of the file until a matching
|
|
protocol name or
|
|
protocol number is found,
|
|
or until
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is encountered.
|

.Sh RETURN VALUES
|

|
.Fn getprotoent ,
|
|
.Fn getprotobynumber ,
|
|
.Fn getprotobyname ,
|

|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
These functions use a static data space;
|
|
if the data is needed for future use, it should be
|
|
copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it.
|
|
Only the Internet
|
|
protocols are currently understood.
