Handles the group network entries.
Standard C Library (libc.a)
#include <netdb.h> void setnetgrent_r(NetGroup,ptr) char *NetGroup; void **ptr;
The setnetgrent_r subroutine functions the same as the setnetgrent subroutine.
The setnetgrent_r subroutine establishes the network group from which the getnetgrent_r subroutine will obtain members. This subroutine also restarts calls to the getnetgrent_r subroutine from the beginnning of the list. If the previous setnetgrent_r call was to a different netowork group, an endnetgrent_r call is implied. The endnetgrent_r subroutine frees the space allocated during the getnetgrent_r calls.
| NetGroup | Points to a network group. |
| ptr | Keeps the function threadsafe. |
| /etc/netgroup | Contains network groups recognized by the system. |
| /usr/include/netdb.h | Contains the network database structures. |
