Returns information for an Internet protocol. Overrides
the core getprotoent, getprotobyname, and getprotobynumber functions with
object-oriented versions that return Net::protoent objects. The
functions take a default second argument of tcp. The objects have methods that return
the fields of the same name from the protoent
structure in netdb.h:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
| List of aliases |
| Name of host |
| Protocol |
You can access the structure fields with the methods or by
importing the fields into your namespace with the :FIELDS import tag
and accessing them by prepending p_
to the field name:
$proto_obj->name( ) $p_name
