+
+NAME
+     getprotoent, getprotobynumber, getprotobyname, setprotoent, endprotoent -
+     get protocol entry
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     #include &lt;netdb.h&#62;
+
+     struct protoent *
+     getprotoent(void);
+
+     struct protoent *
+     getprotobyname(char *name);
+
+     struct protoent *
+     getprotobynumber(int proto);
+
+     void
+     setprotoent(int stayopen);
+
+     void
+     endprotoent(void);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     The getprotoent(), getprotobyname(), and getprotobynumber() functions
+     each return a pointer to an object with the following structure contain-
+     ing the broken-out fields of a line in the network protocol database,
+     /etc/protocols.
+
+
+           struct  protoent {
+                   char    *p_name;        /* official name of protocol */
+                   char    **p_aliases;    /* alias list */
+                   int     p_proto;        /* protocol number */
+           };
+
+     The members of this structure are:
+
+     p_name     The official name of the protocol.
+
+     p_aliases  A zero-terminated list of alternate names for the protocol.
+
+     p_proto    The protocol number.
+
+     The getprotoent() function reads the next line of the file, opening the
+     file if necessary.
+
+     The setprotoent() function opens and rewinds the file.  If the stayopen
+     flag is non-zero, the net database will not be closed after each call to
+     getprotobyname() or getprotobynumber().
+
+     The endprotoent() function closes the file.
+
+     The getprotobyname() and getprotobynumber() functions sequentially search
+     from the beginning of the file until a matching protocol name or protocol
+     number is found, or until EOF is encountered.
+
+RETURN VALUES
+     Null pointer (0) returned on EOF or error.
+
+FILES
+     /etc/protocols
+
+SEE ALSO
+     protocols(5)
+
+HISTORY
+     The getprotoent(), getprotobynumber(), getprotobyname(), setprotoent(),
+     and endprotoent() functions appeared in 4.2BSD.
+
+BUGS
+     These functions use a static data space; if the data is needed for future
+     use, it should be copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it.  Only
+     the Internet protocols are currently understood.
