3.2.53 getnetent

getnetent
setnetent STAYOPEN
endnetent

These functions do the same thing as their like-named system library routines - see getnetent(3). They iterate through your /etc/networks file, or moral equivalent. The return value in list context is:

($name, $aliases, $addrtype, $net)

In scalar context, getnetent returns only the network name.
