NAME
getnetent, getnetbyaddr, getnetbyname, setnetent, endnetent - get network
entry
SYNOPSIS
#include < netdb.h>
struct netent *
getnetent(void);
struct netent *
getnetbyname(char *name);
struct netent *
getnetbyaddr(in_addr_t net, int type);
void
setnetent(int stayopen);

endnetent(void);
DESCRIPTION
The getnetent(), getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr() functions each return
a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the bro-
ken-out fields of a line in the network database, /etc/networks.
struct netent {
char *n_name; /* official name of net */
char **n_aliases; /* alias list */
int n_addrtype; /* net number type */
in_addr_t n_net; /* net number */
};
The members of this structure are:
n_name The official name of the network.
n_aliases A zero-terminated list of alternate names for the network.
n_addrtype The type of the network number returned; currently only
AF_INET.
