endservent(3)
NAME
  endservent, endservent_r - Close the network services database file.

SYNOPSIS
  #include <netdb.h>

  void endservent(
	  void );

  [Tru64 UNIX]	The following function is supported in order to maintain
  backward compatibility with previous versions of the operating system.

  void endservent_r(
	  struct servent_data *serv_data );

LIBRARY
  Standard C Library (libc)

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  endservent():	 XNS4.0, XNS5.0

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS
  serv_data
      [Tru64 UNIX]  For endservent_r() only, this is data for services
      database.

DESCRIPTION
  The endservent() function closes either the local /etc/services file or the
  NIS distributed services file, previously opened with the getservent(),
  getservbyname(), or getservbyport() function. To determine which file or
  files to search, and in which order, the system uses the switches in the
  /etc/svc.conf file.

  [Tru64 UNIX]	If the most recent setservent() function was performed with a
  nonzero parameter, a subsequent endservent() function will not close the
  network services database file.

NOTES
  [Tru64 UNIX]	The endservent_r() function is the reentrant version of the
  endservent() function.  It is supported in order to maintain backward
  compatibility with previous versions of the operating system. The netdb.h
  header file defines the serv_data structure.

ERRORS
  Current industry standards do not define error values for the endservent()
  function.

  [Tru64 UNIX]	If the endservent_r() function fails, errno may be set to:

  [EINVAL]
      serv_data is NULL.

FILES
  /etc/services
      Contains service names.

  /etc/svc.conf
      The database service selection configuration file.
