DESCRIPTION
       The getnetent_r(), getnetbyname_r(), and getnetbyaddr_r() functions are
       the reentrant equivalents  of,  respectively,  getnetent(3),  getnetby-
       name(3), and getnetbynumber(3).  they differ in the way that the netent
       structure is returned, and in the function calling signature and return
       value.   This  manual page describes just the differences from the non-
       reentrant functions.

       Instead of returning a pointer to a statically allocated netent  struc-
       ture  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 netent structure.  (The non-reentrant 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  network record, then
       *result is set pointing to result_buf; otherwise,  *result  is  set  to
       NULL.

       The  buffer  pointed  to  by  h_errnop is used to return the value that
       would be stored in the global variable  h_errno  by  the  non-reentrant
       versions of these functions.

RETURN VALUE
       On  success, these functions return 0.  On error, a positive error num-
       ber is returned.
       on  some  other systems, though typically with different calling signa-
       tures.
