SYNOPSIS
#include < netdb.h>
struct servent *
getservent(void);
struct servent *

DESCRIPTION
The getservent(), getservbyname(), and getservbyport() functions each
return a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the
broken-out fields of a line in the network services database,
/etc/services.
struct servent {
char *s_name; /* official name of service */
char **s_aliases; /* alias list */
int s_port; /* port service resides at */
char *s_proto; /* protocol to use */
};
The members of this structure are:
s_name The official name of the service.
s_aliases A zero-terminated list of alternate names for the service.
s_port The port number at which the service resides. Port numbers
are returned in network byte order.
s_proto The name of the protocol to use when contacting the service.
