  • Subject: TCP/IP sockets - Getservbyname

Ok I have now got the function to find and return the pointer and I have the
pointer associated with the data structure.  However the data in the
structure is not nicely formatted.  I added the null bytes to the end of the
service name and protocol name.  That fixed the lookup.  I based the data
structure on a pointer name and eval pservent =
getservbyname(%addr(s_name):%addr(s_proto).

D servent         DS                  Based(pservent)
D   s_name                      32a                  
D   s_aliases                  128a                  
D   s_port                       5u 0                
D   s_proto                     32a                  

The DS seems to have the port number starting in byte 34 followed by the
s_name, garbage,  protocol, more garbage, the aliases.  The strings are null
terminated and space filled making each one extra byte.  I am making
progress but if someone has the code snippet??? I will appreciate any help.


Thank You in advance,
