- =head1 NAME
-
- Net::protoent - by-name interface to Perl's built-in getproto*() functions
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Net::protoent;
- $p = getprotobyname(shift || 'tcp') || die "no proto";
- printf "proto for %s is %d, aliases are %s\n",
- $p->name, $p->proto, "@{$p->aliases}";
-
- use Net::protoent qw(:FIELDS);
- getprotobyname(shift || 'tcp') || die "no proto";
- print "proto for $p_name is $p_proto, aliases are @p_aliases\n";
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- This module's default exports override the core getprotoent(),
- getprotobyname(), and getnetbyport() functions, replacing them with
- versions that return "Net::protoent" objects. They take default
- second arguments of "tcp". This object has methods that return the
- similarly named structure field name from the C's protoent structure
- from F<netdb.h>; namely name, aliases, and proto. The aliases method
- returns an array reference, the rest scalars.
-
- You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
- as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still
- overrides your core functions.) Access these fields as variables named
- with a preceding C<p_>. Thus, C<$proto_obj-E<gt>name()> corresponds to
- $p_name if you import the fields. Array references are available as
- regular array variables, so for example C<@{ $proto_obj-E<gt>aliases()
- }> would be simply @p_aliases.
-
- The getproto() function is a simple front-end that forwards a numeric
- argument to getprotobyport(), and the rest to getprotobyname().
-
- To access this functionality without the core overrides,
- pass the C<use> an empty import list, and then access
- function functions with their full qualified names.
- On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
- via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.
-
- =head1 NOTE
-
- While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
- module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
