Hinweise
The getprotobyname function returns a pointer to the protoent structure containing the name(s) and protocol number that correspond to the protocol specified in the name parameter. All strings are null-terminated. The protoent structure is allocated by the Windows Sockets library. An application must never attempt to modify this structure or to free any of its components. Furthermore, like hostent, only one copy of this structure is allocated per thread, so the application should copy any information that it needs before issuing any other Windows Sockets function calls.
