The

.Fn getservent ,

|
.Fn getservbyname ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getservbyport
|
|

|
|
each return a pointer to an object with the
|
|
following structure
|

containing the broken-out
|

fields of a line in the network services data base,

.Pa /etc/services .

|
The members of this structure are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width s_aliases
|
|
.It Fa s_name
|
|
The official name of the service.
|
|
.It Fa s_aliases
|
|
A zero terminated list of alternate names for the service.
|
|
.It Fa s_port
|
|
The port number at which the service resides.
|
|
Port numbers are returned in network byte order.
|
|
.It Fa s_proto
|
|
The name of the protocol to use when contacting the
|
|
service.

The

The
|
|
.Fn setservent

|
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 getservbyname
|

.Fn getservbyport .

The

The

.Fn getservbyname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getservbyport
|
|
functions
|
|
sequentially search from the beginning
|
|
of the file until a matching
|
|
protocol name or
|
|
port number is found,
|
|
or until
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is encountered.
|
|
If a protocol name is also supplied (non-
|
|
.Dv NULL ) ,
|
|
searches must also match the protocol.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getservent ,
|
|
.Fn getservbyport ,
|
|
.Fn getservbyname ,
|
|
.Fn setservent ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn endservent
|
|
functions appeared in

|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
These functions use static data storage;
|
|
if the data is needed for future use, it should be
|
|
copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it.
|
|
Expecting port numbers to fit in a 32 bit
|
|
quantity is probably naive.
