NAMEgetprotoent_r, getprotobyname_r, getprotobynumber_r − get protocol entry (reentrant)
LIBRARYStandard C library (libc, −lc)
SYNOPSIS#include <netdb.h>int getprotoent_r(struct protoent *restrict result_buf,
char buf[restrict .buflen], size_t buflen,
struct protoent **restrict result);
int getprotobyname_r(const char *restrict name,
struct protoent *restrict result_buf,
char buf[restrict .buflen], size_t buflen,
struct protoent **restrict result);
int getprotobynumber_r(int proto,
struct protoent *restrict result_buf,
char buf[restrict .buflen], size_t buflen,
struct protoent **restrict result);Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), getprotobynumber_r(): Since glibc 2.19:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
glibc 2.19 and earlier:

DESCRIPTIONThe getprotoent_r(), getprotobyname_r(), and getprotobynumber_r() functions are the reentrant equivalents of, respectively, getprotoent(3), getprotobyname(3), and getprotobynumber(3). They differ in the way that the protoent structure is returned, and in the function calling signature and return value. This manual page describes just the differences from the nonreentrant functions. Instead of returning a pointer to a statically allocated protoent structure as the function result, these functions copy the structure into the location pointed to by result_buf. The buf array is used to store the string fields pointed to by the returned protoent structure. (The nonreentrant functions allocate these strings in static storage.) The size of this array is specified in buflen. If buf is too small, the call fails with the error ERANGE, and the caller must try again with a larger buffer. (A buffer of length 1024 bytes should be sufficient for most applications.) If the function call successfully obtains a protocol record, then *result is set pointing to result_buf; otherwise, *result is set to NULL.
RETURN VALUEOn success, these functions return 0. On error, they return one of the positive error numbers listed in ERRORS. On error, record not found (getprotobyname_r(), getprotobynumber_r()), or end of input (getprotoent_r()) result is set to NULL.
ERRORSENOENT (getprotoent_r()) No more records in database. ERANGE buf is too small. Try again with a larger buffer (and increased buflen).

STANDARDSThese functions are GNU extensions. Functions with similar names exist on some other systems, though typically with different calling signatures.
EXAMPLESThe program below uses getprotobyname_r() to retrieve the protocol record for the protocol named in its first command-line argument. If a second (integer) command-line argument is supplied, it is used as the initial value for buflen; if getprotobyname_r() fails with the error ERANGE, the program retries with larger buffer sizes. The following shell session shows a couple of sample runs: $ ./a.out tcp 1
ERANGE! Retrying with larger buffer
getprotobyname_r() returned: 0 (success) (buflen=78)
p_name=tcp; p_proto=6; aliases=TCP
$ ./a.out xxx 1
ERANGE! Retrying with larger buffer
getprotobyname_r() returned: 0 (success) (buflen=100)
