Returns information for a network. Overrides the core getnetbyname and getnetbyaddr functions with object-oriented versions that return Net::netent objects. The objects have methods that return the fields of the same name from the netent structure in netdb.h:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
addrtype |
Net address type |
|
aliases |
Array of aliases |
|
name |

You can access the structure fields with the methods or by importing the fields into your namespace with the :FIELDS import tag and accessing them by prepending n_ to the field name:
$net_obj->name( ) $n_name
