+PR_GetProtoByName
+=================
+
+Looks up a protocol entry based on the protocol's name.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prnetdb.h>
+
+ PRStatus PR_GetProtoByName(
+ const char* protocolname,
+ char* buffer,
+ PRInt32 bufsize,
+ PRProtoEnt* result);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``protocolname``
+ A pointer to the character string of the protocol's name.
+``buffer``
+ A pointer to a scratch buffer for the runtime to return result. This
+ buffer is allocated by the caller.
+``bufsize``
+ Number of bytes in the ``buffer`` parameter. The buffer must be at
+ least :ref:`PR_NETDB_BUF_SIZE` bytes.
+``result``
+ On input, a pointer to a :ref:`PRProtoEnt` structure. On output, this
+ structure is filled in by the runtime if the function returns
+ ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If successful, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. You can retrieve the reason for the
+ failure by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
