+.Fd #include <netdb.h>
+.Ft struct netent *
+.Fn getnetent
+.Ft struct netent *

+.Fn setnetent "int stayopen"
+.Fn endnetent
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn getnetent ,
+.Fn getnetbyname ,
+and
+.Fn getnetbyaddr
+functions
+each return a pointer to an object with the
+following structure
+containing the broken-out
+fields of a line in the network data base,
+.Pa /etc/networks .
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct netent {
+ char *n_name; /* official name of net */
+ char **n_aliases; /* alias list */
+ int n_addrtype; /* net number type */
+ unsigned long 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.
+Network numbers are supplied in host order.
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /etc/networks -compact
+.It Pa /etc/networks
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+Null pointer
+(0) returned on
+.Dv EOF
+or error.
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.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 static; 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.
