+.Ft struct netent *
+.Fn getnetent "void"

+.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 database,
+.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 */
+        in_addr_t       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
+.Dv 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 database 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
+and
+.Fn getnetbyaddr
+functions search the domain name server if the system is configured to use one.
+If the search fails, or no name server is configured, they 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.

+.Xr networks 5
+.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 naive.
