.In netdb.h
.Ft struct netent *
.Fn getnetent void
.Ft struct netent *
.Fn getnetbyname "const char *name"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
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 .
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct	netent {
	char		*n_name;	/* official name of net */
	char		**n_aliases;	/* alias list */
	int		n_addrtype;	/* net number type */
	uint32_t	n_net;		/* net number */
};
.Ed
.Pp
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.
.El
.Pp
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 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
.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.
