GETPROTOENT(3)             Linux Programmer's Manual            GETPROTOENT(3)



NAME
       getprotoent,  getprotobyname, getprotobynumber, setprotoent, endprotoent - get pro-
       tocol entry

SYNOPSIS
       #include <netdb.h>

       struct protoent *getprotoent(void);

       struct protoent *getprotobyname(const char *name);

       struct protoent *getprotobynumber(int proto);

       void setprotoent(int stayopen);

       void endprotoent(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The getprotoent() function reads the next line from  the  file  /etc/protocols  and
       returns  a  structure protoent containing the broken out fields from the line.  The
       /etc/protocols file is opened if necessary.

       The getprotobyname() function returns  a  protoent  structure  for  the  line  from
       /etc/protocols that matches the protocol name name.

       The  getprotobynumber()  function  returns  a  protoent structure for the line that
       matches the protocol number number.

       The setprotoent() function opens and rewinds the /etc/protocols file.  If  stayopen
       is  true (1), then the file will not be closed between calls to getprotobyname() or
       getprotobynumber().

       The endprotoent() function closes /etc/protocols.

       The protoent structure is defined in <netdb.h> as follows:

              struct protoent {
                      char    *p_name;        /* official protocol name */
                      char    **p_aliases;    /* alias list */
                      int     p_proto;        /* protocol number */
              }

       The members of the protoent structure are:

       p_name The official name of the protocol.

       p_aliases
              A zero terminated list of alternative names for the protocol.

       p_proto
              The protocol number.

RETURN VALUE
       The getprotoent(), getprotobyname() and  getprotobynumber()  functions  return  the
       protoent  structure, or a NULL pointer if an error occurs or the end of the file is
       reached.

FILES
       /etc/protocols
              protocol database file
