+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn getprotoent ,
+.Fn getprotobyname ,
+and
+.Fn getprotobynumber
+functions
+each return a pointer to an object with the
+following structure
+containing the broken-out
+fields of a line in the network protocol data base,
+.Pa /etc/protocols .
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+.Pp
+struct  protoent {
+        char    *p_name;        /* official name of protocol */
+        char    **p_aliases;    /* alias list */
+        int     p_proto;        /* protocol number */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The members of this structure are:
+.Bl -tag -width p_aliases
+.It Fa p_name
+The official name of the protocol.
+.It Fa p_aliases
+A zero terminated list of alternate names for the protocol.
+.It Fa p_proto
+The protocol number.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getprotoent
+function
+reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn setprotoent
+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 getprotobyname
+or
+.Fn getprotobynumber .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn endprotoent
+function
+closes the file.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getprotobyname
+function
+and
+.Fn getprotobynumber
+sequentially search from the beginning
+of the file until a matching
+protocol name or
+protocol number is found,
+or until
+.Dv EOF
+is encountered.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Null pointer
+(0) returned on
+.Dv EOF
+or error.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn getprotoent ,
+.Fn getprotobynumber ,
+.Fn getprotobyname ,
+.Fn setprotoent ,
+and
+.Fn endprotoent
+functions appeared in 
+.Bx 4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+These functions use a static data space;
+if the data is needed for future use, it should be
+copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it.
+Only the Internet
+protocols are currently understood.
