Message-ID: <BOB.92Sep4120430@volitans.MorningStar.Com> Sender: news@MorningStar.Com Nntp-Posting-Host: volitans.morningstar.com Organization: Morning Star Technologies Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1992 16:04:38 GMT Lines: 7 BSD's getnetent() family of routines works with the contents of /etc/networks. Is there a similar getnetmaskent() family for the information contained in /etc/netmasks? I note that the Tahoe (or is it Reno?) <netdb.h> has no mention of a subnet mask, nor of a file where it might be found. Must I actually open() the file and parse it myself? How barbaric! :-)
