Instead of returning a pointer to a statically allocated netent structure as the function result, these functions copy the structure into the location pointed to by result_buf.
The buf array is used to store the string fields pointed to by the returned netent structure. (The nonreentrant functions allocate these strings in static storage.) The size of this array is specified in buflen. If buf is too small, the call fails with the error ERANGE, and the caller must try again with a larger buffer. (A buffer of length 1024 bytes should be sufficient for most applications.)
If the function call successfully obtains a network record, then *result is set pointing to result_buf; otherwise, *result is set to NULL.
The buffer pointed to by h_errnop is used to return the value that would be stored in the global variable h_errno by the nonreentrant versions of these functions.
On error, record not found (getnetbyname_r(), getnetbyaddr_r()), or end of input (getnetent_r()) result is set to NULL.
