SYNOPSIS |
#include <netdb.h> void setnetent(int stayopen);
DESCRIPTION |
setnetent
opens the network file, that is, a file with the same format
as
/etc/networks
in the
UNIX environment. If the file is already open,
setnetent
rewinds the file so that succeeding
getnetent
calls can read it sequentially. Specifying
a nonzero value for
stayopen
causes the network file to remain open between subsequent
getnetbyname
and
getnetbyaddr
calls. Refer to Network Administration for information on naming the network file for your
system.
RETURN VALUE |
setnetent
does not return a value.
PORTABILITY |
setnetent
is portable to other environments, including most UNIX systems,
that implement BSD sockets.
IMPLEMENTATION |
This routine is ported directly from the BSD UNIX Socket Library.
