getservbyname programming

The getservbyname() function returns a servent structure for the entry from the database that matches the service name using protocol proto. If proto is NULL, any protocol will be matched. A connection is opened to the database if necessary. getservbyname(“ftp”, “tcp”) = 0x7fcc5248b8c0 The servent structure is defined in as follows: struct servent { char …
