package does have BXA export approval, but the licensing strings on the dnssafe code are a bit unpleasant. The crypto is easy to restore and bind will run without it - just without full dnssec support. Obtained from: The Internet Software Consortium (www.isc.org)

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getnetent ,
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr
|
|
subroutines
|
|
each return a pointer to an object with the following structure
|
|
containing the broken-out fields of a line in the
|
|
.Pa networks
|
|
database.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct netent {
|
|
char *n_name; /* official name of net */
|
|
char **n_aliases; /* alias list */
|
|
int n_addrtype; /* net number type */
|
|
long n_net; /* net number */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The members of this structure are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "n_addrtype"
|
|
.It n_name
|
|
The official name of the network.
|
|
.It n_aliases
|
|
A zero-terminated list of alternate names for the network.
|
|
.It n_addrtype
|
|
The type of the network number returned:
|
|
.Dv AF_INET .
|
|
.It n_net
|
|
The network number. Network numbers are returned in machine byte
|
|
order.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa stayopen
|
|
flag on a
|
|
.Fn setnetent
|
|
subroutine is NULL, the
|
|
.Pa networks
|
|
database is opened. Otherwise, the
|
|
.Fn setnetent
|
|
has the effect of rewinding the
|
|
.Pa networks
|
|
database.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn endnetent
|
|
subroutine may be called to
|
|
close the
|
|
.Pa networks
|
|
database when processing is complete.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getnetent
|
|
subroutine simply reads the next
|
|
line while
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr
|
|
search until a matching
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa net
|
|
number is found
|
|
(or until
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is encountered). The
|
|
.Fa type must be
|
|
.Dv AF_INET .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getnetent
|
|
subroutine keeps a pointer in the database, allowing
|
|
successive calls to be used to search the entire file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before a
|
|
.Ic while
|
|
loop using
|
|
.Fn getnetent ,
|
|
a call to
|
|
.Fn setnetent
|
|
must be made
|
|
in order to perform initialization; a call to
|
|
.Fn endnetent
|
|
must be used after the loop. Both
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr
|
|
make calls to
|
|
.Fn setnetent
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn endnetent .
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Pa /etc/networks
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Null pointer (0) returned on
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
or error.

|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn "getnetent" ,
|
|
.Fn "getnetbyaddr" ,
|
|
.Fn "getnetbyname" ,
|
|
.Fn "setnetent" ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn "endnetent"
|
|
functions appeared in 4.2BSD.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The data space used by these functions is static; if future use requires the
|
|
data, it should be copied before any subsequent calls to these functions
|
|
overwrite it. Only Internet network numbers are currently understood.
|
|
Expecting network numbers to fit in no more than 32 bits is probably naive.
