Ben Gras 2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.

Changes in this commit:

	. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
	. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
	  can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
	. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
	. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
	. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
	  commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
	. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
	. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
	. test compile fix
	. harmonize includes
	. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
	  kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
	  is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
	  less on the state of the machine making them now.
	. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
	. reduce mtree

.Nm endservent

.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In netdb.h
.Ft struct servent *
.Fn getservent
.Ft struct servent *
.Fn getservbyname "const char *name" "const char *proto"
.Ft struct servent *
.Fn getservbyport "int port" "const char *proto"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn getservent ,
.Fn getservbyname ,
and
.Fn getservbyport
functions
each return a pointer to an object with the
following structure
containing the broken-out
fields of a line in the network services data base,
.Pa /etc/services .
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct servent {
char *s_name; /* official name of service */
char **s_aliases; /* alias list */
int s_port; /* port service resides at */
char *s_proto; /* protocol to use */
};
.Ed
.Pp
The members of this structure are:
.Bl -tag -width s_aliases
.It Fa s_name
The official name of the service.
.It Fa s_aliases
A NULL terminated list of alternative names for the service.
.It Fa s_port
The port number at which the service resides.
Port numbers must be given and are returned in network byte order.
.It Fa s_proto
The name of the protocol to use when contacting the
service.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn getservent
function
reads the next line of the file, opening the file if necessary.
.Pp
The
.Fn setservent
function
opens and rewinds the file. If the
.Fa stayopen
flag is non-zero,
the net data base will not be closed after each call to
.Fn getservbyname
or
.Fn getservbyport .
.Pp
The
.Fn endservent
function
closes the file.
.Pp
The
.Fn getservbyname
and
.Fn getservbyport
functions
sequentially search from the beginning
of the file until a matching
protocol name or
port number is found,
or until
.Dv EOF
is encountered.
If a protocol name is also supplied (non-\c
.Dv NULL ) ,
searches must also match the protocol.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /etc/services -compact
.It Pa /etc/services
.El
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
Null pointer
(0) returned on
.Dv EOF
or error.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr getprotoent 3 ,
.Xr services 5
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn getservent ,
.Fn getservbyport ,
.Fn getservbyname ,
.Fn setservent ,
and
.Fn endservent
functions appeared in
.Bx 4.2 .
.Sh BUGS
These functions use static data storage;
if the data is needed for future use, it should be
copied before any subsequent calls overwrite it.
Expecting port numbers to fit in a 32 bit
quantity is probably naive.
