+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR getservent_r (),
+.BR getservbyname_r (),
+and
+.BR getservbyport_r ()
+functions are the reentrant equivalents of, respectively,
+.BR getservent (3),
+.BR getservbyname (3),
+and
+.BR getservbyport (3).
+They differ in the way that the
+.I servent
+structure is returned,
+and in the function calling signature and return value.
+This manual page describes just the differences from
+the nonreentrant functions.
+.PP
+Instead of returning a pointer to a statically allocated
+.I servent
+structure as the function result,
+these functions copy the structure into the location pointed to by
+.IR result_buf .
+.PP
+The
+.I buf
+array is used to store the string fields pointed to by the returned
+.I servent
+structure.
+(The nonreentrant functions allocate these strings in static storage.)
+The size of this array is specified in
+.IR buflen .
+If
+.I buf
+is too small, the call fails with the error
+.BR ERANGE ,
+and the caller must try again with a larger buffer.
+(A buffer of length 1024 bytes should be sufficient for most applications.)
+.\" I can find no information on the required/recommended buffer size;
+.\" the nonreentrant functions use a 1024 byte buffer -- mtk.
+.PP
+If the function call successfully obtains a service record, then
+.I *result
+is set pointing to
+.IR result_buf ;
+otherwise,
+.I *result
+is set to NULL.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return 0.
+On error, they return one of the positive error numbers listed in errors.
+.PP
+On error, record not found
+.RB ( getservbyname_r (),
+.BR getservbyport_r ()),
+or end of input
+.RB ( getservent_r ())
+.I result
+is set to NULL.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B ENOENT
+.RB ( getservent_r ())
+No more records in database.
+.TP
+.B ERANGE
+.I buf
+is too small.
+Try again with a larger buffer
+(and increased
+.IR buflen ).

+.SH VERSIONS
+Functions with similar names exist on some other systems,
+though typically with different calling signatures.
+.SH STANDARDS
+GNU.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below uses
+.BR getservbyport_r ()
+to retrieve the service record for the port and protocol named
+in its first command-line argument.
+If a third (integer) command-line argument is supplied,
+it is used as the initial value for
+.IR buflen ;
+if
+.BR getservbyport_r ()
+fails with the error
+.BR ERANGE ,
+the program retries with larger buffer sizes.
+The following shell session shows a couple of sample runs:
+.PP
+.in +4n

+.RB "$" " ./a.out 7 tcp 1"
+ERANGE! Retrying with larger buffer
+getservbyport_r() returned: 0 (success) (buflen=87)

+.RB "$" " ./a.out 77777 tcp"
