+.Sh NAME
+.Nm getnetgrent ,
+.Nm innetgr ,
+.Nm setnetgrent ,
+.Nm endnetgrent
+.Nd netgroup database operations
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Ft int
+.Fn getnetgrent "char **host, char **user, char **domain"
+.Ft int
+.Fn innetgr "const char *netgroup, const char *host, const char *user, const char *domain"
+.Ft void
+.Fn setnetgrent "const char *netgroup"
+.Ft void
+.Fn endnetgrent void
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions operate on the netgroup database file
+.Pa /etc/netgroup
+which is described
+in
+.Xr netgroup 5 .
+The database defines a set of netgroups, each made up of one or more triples:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+(host, user, domain)
+.Ed
+that defines a combination of host, user and domain.
+Any of the three fields may be specified as ``wildcards'' that match any
+string.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn getnetgrent
+sets the three pointer arguments to the strings of the next member of the
+current netgroup.
+If any of the string pointers are
+.Sy (char *)0
+that field is considered a wildcard.
+.Pp
+The functions
+.Fn setnetgrent
+and
+.Fn endnetgrent
+set the current netgroup and terminate the current netgroup respectively.
+If
+.Fn setnetgrent
+is called with a different netgroup than the previous call, an implicit
+.Fn endnetgrent
+is implied.
+.Fn Setnetgrent
+also sets the offset to the first member of the netgroup.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn innetgr
+searches for a match of all fields within the specified group.
+If any of the
+.Sy host ,
+.Sy user ,
+or
+.Sy domain
+arguments are
+.Sy (char *)0
+those fields will match any string value in the netgroup member.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The function
+.Fn getnetgrent
+returns 0 for ``no more netgroup members'' and 1 otherwise.
+The function
+.Fn innetgr
+returns 1 for a successful match and 0 otherwise.
+The functions
+.Fn setnetgrent
+and
+.Fn endnetgrent
+have no return value.

+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Fn netgroup 5
+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+The netgroup members have three string fields to maintain compatibility
+with other vendor implementations, however it is not obvious what use the
+.Sy domain
+string has within BSD.
+.Sh BUGS
+The function
+.Fn getnetgrent
+returns pointers to dynamically allocated data areas that are free'd when
+the function
+.Fn endnetgrent
+is called.
