Hi all,
I'm currently trying to use the function "getservbyname" and I have problems
with. I do not find any hints on the mailing-list archive nor in the FAQ,
but I saw the function is supported by Cygwin.
The getservbyname() function returns a servent structure for the line from
/etc/services that matches the service name using protocol proto. I
installed the file /etc/services like it is on my Linux system.
Actually, this functions always returns me a NULL pointer. Does anybody
uses this function in his source code without having problems? Is there
anything special about /etc/services?
Here is an example of what I am doing:
---- /etc/services content --------------------------------
socorfs 3379/tcp
-----------------------------------------------------------
---- Source code ------------------------------------------
struct servent *serv = getservbyname( "socorfs", "tcp" );
if( serv == NULL )
return 0;
-----------------------------------------------------------
And the function getservbyname() always return NULL...
Additionnal informations. Here is how I mount my Cygwin root directory:
