okay bestie, so this one is from the POSIX Programmer's Manual (yes that's the manual name, we're keeping it, she's iconic) ✨

🫶 PROLOG

Real talk before we get into it: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go read the corresponding Linux manual page for the actual Linux behavior, mkay? And lowkey, the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. Not a vibe, but it's the truth. 💀

🌸 NAME

getnetbyaddr, getnetbyname, getnetent — the network database functions 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS

#include <netdb.h>

struct netent *getnetbyaddr(uint32_t net, int type);
struct netent *getnetbyname(const char *name);
struct netent *getnetent(void);

look at her. three little functions. uint32_t net, int type, const char *name, and a plain void. no cap. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION

okay so this is the funny part: the whole description is literally just refer to endnetent(). that's it. that's the description. she's pointing you at her sister page and honestly? respect the efficiency. 👑

Go read endnetent() — the details live there, bestie. 💖
