<p>The <em>getservent()</em> function is used to retrieve information about
services (the protocol being used by the service and the port number assigned
for the service). The information is retrieved from the services database file.
When <em>getservent()</em> is first called, the file is opened, and the first
entry is returned. Each subsequent call to <em>getservent()</em> results in the
next entry in the file being returned. To close the file, use
<em>endservent()</em>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>No authorization is required.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p><em>getservent()</em> returns a pointer. Possible values are: </p>
<ul>
<li>NULL (unsuccessful or end-of-file)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>p (successful), where p is a pointer to <strong>struct servent</strong>.
<pre>
struct servent {
char *s_name;
char **s_aliases;
int s_port;
char *s_proto
};
</pre>
<p><em>s_name</em> points to the character string that contains the name of the
service. <em>s_aliases</em> is a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of
alternate names for the service. <em>s_port</em> is the port number assigned to
the service. <em>s_proto</em> is the protocol being used by the service.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The structure <strong>struct servent</strong> is defined in
<strong>&lt;netdb.h&gt;</strong>.</p>
<br>
<h3><a name="USAGE_NOTES">Usage Notes</a></h3>
<ol>
<li>The iSeries Navigator or the following CL commands can be
used to access the services database file:
<ul>
<li>WRKSRVTBLE (Work with Service Table Entries)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>ADDSRVTBLE (Add Service Table Entry)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>RMVSRVTBLE (Remove Service Table Entry)</li>
</ul>
<br>
</li>
<li>The pointer returned by <em>getservent()</em> points to static storage that
is overwritten on subsequent calls to the <em>getservent()</em>,
<em>getservbyname()</em>, or <em>getservbyport()</em> functions.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A coded character set identifier (CCSID) of 65535 for the job requests that
no database translation be performed. For translation to occur for the service
names returned in the servent structure, the job CCSID must be something other
than 65535.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Do not use the <em>getservent()</em> function in a multithreaded
environment. See the multithread alternative <em>getservent_r()</em>
function.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>When you develop in C-based languages and an application is compiled with the _XOPEN_SOURCE
macro defined to the value 520 or greater, the <em>getservent()</em> API is mapped to
<em>qso_getservent98()</em>.</li>
