NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       endservent,  endservent_r  -  Close  the  network services
       database file.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <netdb.h>

       void endservent(
               void );

       [Tru64 UNIX]  The following function is supported in order
       to  maintain backward compatibility with previous versions
       of the operating system.  void endservent_r(
               struct servent_data *serv_data );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Standard C Library (libc)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Interfaces documented on this reference  page  conform  to
       industry standards as follows:

       endservent():  XNS4.0, XNS5.0

 about industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       [Tru64 UNIX]  For endservent_r() only, this  is  data  for
       services database.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The   endservent()   function   closes  either  the  local
       /etc/services file or the NIS distributed  services  file,
       previously  opened with the getservent(), getservbyname(),
       or getservbyport() function. To determine  which  file  or
       files  to  search, and in which order, the system uses the
       switches in the /etc/svc.conf file.

       [Tru64 UNIX]  If the most recent setservent() function was
       performed  with  a nonzero parameter, a subsequent endservent()
  function  will  not  close  the  network  services
       database file.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       [Tru64 UNIX]  The endservent_r() function is the reentrant
       version of the endservent() function.  It is supported  in
       order  to  maintain  backward  compatibility with previous
       versions of the operating system. The netdb.h header  file
       defines the serv_data structure.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Current  industry standards do not define error values for
       the endservent() function.

       [Tru64 UNIX]  If the endservent_r() function fails,  errno
       may be set to: serv_data is NULL.
