Network Receives network-specific data each time it is coded by the kernel user and called by generic data link control (GDLC).
name2inst Retrieves instances of variables from various forms of data.
nearest The floor subroutine, floorl subroutine, ceil subroutine, ceill subroutine, nearest subroutine, trunc subroutine, and rint subroutine round floating-point numbers to floating-point integer values. The itrunc subroutine and uitrunc subroutine round floating-point numbers to signed and unsigned integers, respectively. The fmod subroutine and fmodl subroutine compute the modulo remainder. The fabs subroutine and fabsl subroutine compute the floating-point absolute value.
netname2host Converts an operating-system-independent network name to a domain-specific host name.
netname2user Converts from an operating-system-independent network name to a domain-specific user number (UID).
newpad Pad management functions
newpass Generates a new password for a user.
newterm Initializes curses and its data structures.
newwin Window creation subroutines.
next2inst Retrieves instances of variables from various forms of data.
nextafter Computes certain binary floating-point arithmetic functions.
nextgroup Accesses the group information in the user database.
