Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
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 8
|
|
system.
|
|
The order of the lookups is controlled by the
|
|
`networks' entry in
|
|
.Xr nsswitch.conf 5 .

struct netent {
|
|

|
char **n_aliases; /* alias list */
|

|
|
uint32_t n_net; /* net number */
|
|
};
|

|
|
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
|
|
argument
|
|
must be
|
|
.Dv AF_INET .
|
|
Network numbers are supplied in host order.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The

|
.Fn getnetent ,
|
|
.Fn getnetbyaddr ,
|
|
.Fn getnetbyname ,
|

|
|
functions appeared in

|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The data space used by
|
|
these functions is thread-specific; 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.
