configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getnetent ,
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr
|
|
functions
|
|
each return a pointer to an object with the
|
|
following structure describing an internet network.
|
|
This structure contains either the information obtained
|
|
from the nameserver,
|
|
.Xr named 8 ,
|
|
broken-out fields of a line in the network data base
|
|
.Pa /etc/networks ,
|
|
or entries supplied by the
|
|
.Xr yp 4
|
|
system. The order of the lookups is controlled by the
|
|
`networks' entry in
|
|
.Xr nsswitch.conf 5 .

|
|
The members of this structure are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width n_addrtype
|
|
.It Fa n_name
|
|
The official name of the network.
|
|
.It Fa n_aliases
|
|
A zero terminated list of alternate names for the network.
|
|
.It Fa n_addrtype
|
|
The type of the network number returned; currently only AF_INET.
|
|
.It Fa n_net
|
|
The network number. Network numbers are returned in machine byte
|
|
order.

The
|
|
.Fn getnetent
|
|
function
|
|
reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setnetent
|
|
function
|
|
opens and rewinds the file. If the
|
|
.Fa stayopen
|
|
flag is non-zero,
|
|
the net data base will not be closed after each call to
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn endnetent
|
|
function
|
|
closes the file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname
|
|
function
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr
|
|
sequentially search from the beginning
|
|
of the file until a matching
|
|
net name or
|
|
net address and type is found,
|
|
or until
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is encountered.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
must be
|
|
.Dv AF_INET .
|
|
Network numbers are supplied in host order.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getnetent ,
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr ,
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname ,
|

functions appeared in

|
|
.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.
