getnetconfig(3N) getnetconfig(3N)
nc_perror() and nc_sperror() can also be used with the NETPATH access routines defined in
getnetpath(3N).
RETURN VALUES
setnetconfig() returns a unique handle to be used by getnetconfig(). In the case of an error,
setnetconfig() returns NULL and nc_perror() or nc_sperror() can be used to print the rea-
son for failure.
getnetconfig() returns a pointer to the current entry in the netconfig() database, formatted as a
struct netconfig. getnetconfig() returns NULL at the end of the file, or upon failure.
endnetconfig() returns 40 on success and -1 on failure, for example, if setnetconfig() was not
called previously.
On success, getnetconfigent() returns a pointer to the struct netconfig structure
corresponding to netid; otherwise it returns NULL.
nc_sperror() returns a pointer to a buffer which contains the error message string. This buffer is
overwritten on each call. In multithreaded applications, this buffer is implemented as thread-specific data.

getnetpath(3N), netconfig(4), environ(5).
