SETNODEENT(3)

✨ SETNODEENT(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual 💅 this one's a lil baby page but it's got lore, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

setnodeent — the DECnet database seek function 🔍✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <netdnet/dn.h>
#include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>

void setnodeent(int ent)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically setnodeent seeks the next record to be retrieved by getnodeent. that's the whole job. it's a seeker, it seeks, it slays 💅

and here's the tea, bestie — this function is present only for compatibility with X11R6. like, that's literally its whole reason for existing. it's giving legacy-support main character energy 👑 no cap.

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

#include <netdnet/dn.h>
#include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

main(void)
{
     setnodeent(1); /* points to the first entry in decnet.conf */
}

see that 1? that points to the first entry in decnet.conf 🍓 cute right
