I am trying to add the ability to look up a service name using the
Getservbyname function.  I have defined the data structure servent with-in
my program but the pointer returned by the function is not to the data
structure I defined.  How do you retrieve the entries from the memory the
pointer is pointing to?  I would imagine that the s_name start at the
pointer and goes to the first null, followed by list of aliases, each null
terminated.  Then there should be the port number as a short integer and
that is what I am looking for.  I suppose I could just open the file
qusrsys/qatocls1 and chain to receive but that would be cheating....  I am
carious as to see if anyone else has successfully used this function.
