3.2.60 getprotoent

getprotoent
setprotoent STAYOPEN
endprotoent

These functions do the same thing as their like-named system library routines - see getprotent(3). The return value from getprotoent is:

($name, $aliases, $protocol_number)

In scalar context, getprotoent returns only the protocol name.
