getprotobynumber()

Returns protocol information on the specified protocol number.

protocol = getprotobynumber(protonumb)

struct protoent *protocol;

intprotonumb;

protocol

Pointer to a protoent structure that contains protocol

 

information returned by getprotobynumber().

 

The protoent structure is defined in the include files

 

<netdb.h>, SOCKET.PASI, and SOCKET.FTNI, for C,

 

Pascal, and FORTRAN programs, respectively.
