The getprotobynumber() function returns a protoent struc� ture for the line that matches the protocol number number. The protoent structure is defined in <netdb.h> as follows: struct protoent { char *p_name; /* official protocol name */ char **p_aliases; /* alias list */ int p_proto; /* protocol number */ } The members of the protoent structure are: p_name The official name of the protocol. p_aliases A zero terminated list of alternative names for the protocol. p_proto The protocol number. RETURN VALUE The getprotobyname() and getprotobynumber() functions return the protoent structure, or a NULL pointer if an error occurs.
