26 The g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bve\ben\bnt\bt(), g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bvb\bby\byn\bna\bam\bme\be(), and g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bvb\bby\byp\bpo\bor\brt\bt() functions each re-
27 turn a pointer to an object with the following structure containing the
28 broken-out fields of a line in the network services data base,
29 _\b/_\be_\bt_\bc_\b/_\bs_\be_\br_\bv_\bi_\bc_\be_\bs.
30
31 struct servent {
32 char *s_name; /* official name of service */
33 char **s_aliases; /* alias list */
34 int s_port; /* port service resides at */
35 char *s_proto; /* protocol to use */
36 };
37
38 The members of this structure are:
39
40 _\bs_\b__\bn_\ba_\bm_\be The official name of the service.
41
42 _\bs_\b__\ba_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs_\be_\bs A zero terminated list of alternate names for the service.
43
44 _\bs_\b__\bp_\bo_\br_\bt The port number at which the service resides. Port numbers
45 are returned in network byte order.
46
47 _\bs_\b__\bp_\br_\bo_\bt_\bo The name of the protocol to use when contacting the service.
48
49 The g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bve\ben\bnt\bt() function reads the next line of the file, opening the
50 file if necessary.
51
52 The s\bse\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bve\ben\bnt\bt() function opens and rewinds the file. If the _\bs_\bt_\ba_\by_\bo_\bp_\be_\bn
53 flag is non-zero, the net data base will not be closed after each call to
54 g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bvb\bby\byn\bna\bam\bme\be() or g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bvb\bby\byp\bpo\bor\brt\bt().
55
56 The e\ben\bnd\bds\bse\ber\brv\bve\ben\bnt\bt() function closes the file.
57
58 The g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bvb\bby\byn\bna\bam\bme\be() and g\bge\bet\bts\bse\ber\brv\bvb\bby\byp\bpo\bor\brt\bt() functions sequentially search
59 from the beginning of the file until a matching protocol name or port
60 number is found, or until EOF is encountered. If a protocol name is also
61 supplied (non- NULL), searches must also match the protocol.

79 These functions use static data storage; if the data is needed for future
80 use, it should be copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it. Ex-
81 pecting port numbers to fit in a 32 bit quantity is probably naive.
