Re: TCP/IP sockets - Getservbyname

Chris,

getservbyname() returns a servent structure. The servent structure is
defined in the NETDB member in the header file H in library QSYSINC. The
first entry in the list is a pointer to the service name. The second
entry is a pointer to a list of aliases. The third entry is an integer
of the port number. The last entry is the protocol ("tcp", "upd", etc.).
