getprotobynumber
The Windows Sockets
getprotobynumber function gets protocol information corresponding to a protocol number.
struct protoent FAR * getprotobynumber (
Parameters
number
[in] A protocol number, in host byte order.
Remarks
This function returns a pointer to a protoent structure as described above in
getprotobyname. The contents of the structure correspond to the given protocol number.
The pointer which is returned points to a structure which is allocated by
Windows Sockets. The application must never attempt to modify this structure or to
free any of its components. Furthermore, only one copy of this structure is
allocated per thread, and so the application should copy any information which it
needs before issuing any other Windows Sockets function calls.
Return Values
If no error occurs,
getprotobynumber returns a pointer to the protoent structure described above. Otherwise, it
returns a NULL pointer and a specific error number can be retrieved by calling
WSAGetLastError.
