+.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 .

+};

+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.

+.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.

+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 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.
