endnetent()--Close Network Database

 #include <netdb.h>

 void endnetent()

The endnetent() function is used to close the network database file. The file is opened by those functions that retrieve information about a network (for example, getnetent()).

Usage Notes

1. When the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro defined to the value 520 or greater, the network file is always closed. When the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro is not so defined, the network file is not closed if a setnetent() with a nonzero parameter value was previously completed.
   
   
2. System i^® Navigator or the following CL commands can be used to access the network database file:
   • WRKNETTBLE (Work with Network Table Entries)
     
     
   • ADDNETTBLE (Add Network Table Entry)
     
     
   • RMVNETTBLE (Remove Network Table Entry)
   
   
   
3. Do not use the endnetent() function in a multithreaded environment. See the multithread alternative endnetent_r() function.
   
   
4. When you develop in C-based languages and an application is compiled with the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro defined to the value 520 or greater, the endnetent() API is mapped to qso_endnetent98().
