| 58 | The members of this structure are:
|
|---|
| 59 | .TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|---|
| 60 | s_name
|
|---|
| 61 | The official name of the service.
|
|---|
| 62 | .TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|---|
| 63 | s_aliases
|
|---|
| 64 | A zero terminated list of alternate names for the service.
|
|---|
| 65 | .TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|---|
| 66 | s_port
|
|---|
| 67 | The port number at which the service resides.
|
|---|
| 68 | Port numbers are returned in network byte order.
|
|---|
| 69 | .TP \w's_aliases'u+2n
|
|---|
| 70 | s_proto
|
|---|
| 71 | The name of the protocol to use when contacting the
|
|---|
| 72 | service.
|
|---|
| 73 | .PP
|
|---|
| 74 | .I Getservent
|
|---|
| 75 | reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
|
|---|
| 76 | .PP
|
|---|
| 77 | .I Setservent
|
|---|
| 78 | opens and rewinds the file. If the
|
|---|
| 79 | .I stayopen
|
|---|
| 80 | flag is non-zero,
|
|---|
| 81 | the net data base will not be closed after each call to
|
|---|
| 82 | .I getservbyname
|
|---|
| 83 | or
|
|---|
| 84 | .IR getservbyport .
|
|---|
| 85 | .PP
|
|---|
| 86 | .I Endservent
|
|---|
| 87 | closes the file.
|
|---|
| 88 | .PP
|
|---|
| 89 | .I Getservbyname
|
|---|
| 90 | and
|
|---|
| 91 | .I getservbyport
|
|---|
| 92 | sequentially search from the beginning
|
|---|
| 93 | of the file until a matching
|
|---|
| 94 | protocol name or
|
|---|
| 95 | port number is found,
|
|---|
| 96 | or until EOF is encountered.
|
|---|
| 97 | If a protocol name is also supplied (non-NULL),
|
|---|
| 98 | searches must also match the protocol.

|
|---|
| 106 | .SH BUGS
|
|---|
| 107 | All information
|
|---|
| 108 | is contained in a static area
|
|---|
| 109 | so it must be copied if it is
|
|---|
| 110 | to be saved. Expecting port
|
|---|
| 111 | numbers to fit in a 32 bit
|
|---|
| 112 | quantity is probably naive.
